Chewy, moist...and almost healthy with the addition of oatmeal...these cookies have been a family favorite for decades. When my grandson comes to visit...we bake cookies...and these are usually his pick!

- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
- Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Add flour, oatmeal, soda and salt and mix until well blended.
- Stir in chocolate chips (and nuts).
- Drop dough in large mounds (ice-scream scoop works great) onto greased cookie sheet.
- Flatten mounds slightly.
