Choc-Oat-Chip Cookies



1 3/4 Cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 1/4 Cups packed brown sugar
1 Cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 Cup granulated sugar
2 Large Eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk

2 1/2 Cups quick or old fashioned oats
2 Cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 Cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats, morsels, and nuts; mix well. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto UNGREASED baking sheets.

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes for a chewy cookie; 12 to 13 minutes for a crispy cookie. Cool on baking sheets for 1 minute remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies

*I only baked them for 9 minutes each time and they turned out still relatively "crispy." Also, we found they worked better if we cooled the dough in the fridge for a bit before baking them.

Just so you know, we halved the amount of chocolate chips and used butterscotch as well. It was pretty tasty.

Food we are proud to have put on our table
