I recently found this recipe that my Grandma (Eleanor Rutkosky) used to make. They are so simple and easy to make, but taste delicious!

 

What you need:

1/2 cup butter (at room temp)
1/2 cup granulated (caster) sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal blended (or just 2 cups of flour)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda or baking powder

4 oz chocolate chips (or more)
1/3 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 190 C.

In a large bowl, cream butter and both sugars, add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
In another bowl mix flour, oatmeal, salt, baking soda/powder. Gradually add to sugar mixture.
Add chocolate chips, nuts or other ingredients and mix in well.

Form into balls or spoon onto a non-stick or greased cookie sheet, 2 in apart.
Bake for about 10-15 min at 190 C. Makes about 12-14.
