Ingredients: 1/2
cup
(1 stick) margarine,
room temp.
1/2
cup
(1 stick) unsalted butter room temp. 1
cup
packed dark brown sugar 1
cup
granulated sugar 2
eggs,
lightly beaten
2
tablespoons
milk 2
teaspoons
vanilla extract 2
cups
sifted unbleached all-purpose flour 1
teaspoon
baking powder 1
teaspoon
baking soda 1
teaspoon
salt 2
cups
quick-cooking oats 12
ounces
semi-sweet chocolate chips 1
cup
coarsely chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. Cream the margarine, butter and both sugars in a large mixer bowl
until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla and beat until
blended.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and add
to the butter mixture. Stir just until blended. Stir in the oats. Fold
in the chocolate and walnuts.
3. Refrigerate the dough covered for at least 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.
5. Shape the dough into balls, using a teaspoon for small cookies or a
tablespoon for large cookies. Flatten slightly into rounded disks. Place
2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the edges are
slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Don't overbake, because the cookies
do harden as they cool.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheets for 10 minutes.
Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes 100 small or 50 large
cookies.
