Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

From the recipe box of travel writer Carole Terwilliger Meyers.

Try some variations:
●butterscotch chips
●colorful M&Ms (mini M&Ms were used in cookies depicted)
●white chocolate chips with macadamia nuts
●milk chocolate chips with pecans (my personal favorite)
And don’t forget to stock up on milk!

½ cup butter (1 stick), soft
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup white sugar
            Cream.

1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
            Beat in.

¾ cup flour
1¼ cup oats (regular or quick)
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt (optional)
            Mix in well.

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup walnuts, chopped
            Stir in. Place a heaping tablespoon of dough on a buttered cookie sheet. Place one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Makes 24 cookies.
