Oatmeal - Chocolate Chip Cookies

Some of my friends have their own recipe blogs. Since I LOVE to cook, I have wanted to start one of my own. So here it goes.......

The first recipe that I want to add is one that has been passed down from my Grandmother Townsend. My Mother used to make these every summer to take on our picnics.

Oatmeal - Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup of softened butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour (I use self-rising)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 cups oats
1 package Hershey milk chocolate chips
1 cup wal-nuts

Beat the butter with a mixer until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat in 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla extract.

Stir in 2 cups flour, 2 cups oats, and 1 package of chocolate chips. Add the nuts.
Drop by teaspoon on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Enjoy!
