The recipe is from bettycrocker.com. I was jonesing for something sweet
after supper and haven't made chocolate chip cookies in a very long time
and decided to try something other than my usual recipe. I went to
Betty. These are good ‹ at least when they're warm. :-)

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

From bettycrocker.com, February 3, 2009. They're very good and easy to
put together.

1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups quick-cooking oats (see comments)
1-1/2 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose or unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
1 cup chopped nuts, if desired

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir brown sugar and butter until
blended. Stir in vanilla and egg until light and fluffy. Stir in oats,
flour, baking soda and salt; stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Onto ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about
2 inches apart.

Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly; remove from
cookie sheet to wire rack.

OK, as I'm typing this, I see that I made a bunch of changes to what's
printed above. You're on your own.

Notes: Made 2-3-2009; 5 dozen cookies instead of the 3-1/2 dozen the
recipe says is the yield.. Used half Crisco and half butter,
old-fashioned rolled oats, coarsely cut pecans, mostly milk chocolate
chips instead of semisweet, and added some almond flavor along with my
homemade vanilla (beans soaking in cheap cognac).

Mmm, I have some chocolate chips. And I always have rolled oats in the
pantry - the old-fashioned sort though, so glad to see they work. I'll save
this recipe - might make some tomorrow night to take into work. A treat for
the people that didn't get cupcakes earlier in the week.

Thanks Barb.

Sounds good. I like to throw in raisins too. I like the raisin -
chocolate combination.

Which reminds me I used to have a raisin bran cereal bar cookie which
also had chocolate chips. I lost the recipe years ago. I think I got it
off a box of Kellogg's. Darn it but they were good. I think I lost it
pre-internets. I should google around for it.

Nope. The recipe I am looking for was pre-Splenda. Although, the recipe
doesn't look too bad.
Has to be at least 20 years or more ago.

Thanks though. ;-)

I'm sure they were lovely, Ma S. but why dilute the heavenly flavor and
texture of chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal?

When I deeply crave cc cookies (every couple of years or so),I want them
to taste like butter, brown sugar, and the deepest chocolate possible
and maybe pecans. Oatmeal? Fine for breakfast. Don't go messin' up my
cookies with it, though.

It's more a question of adulterating perfectly good oatmeal cookies
with chocolate chips. Sheesh! What was Betty thinking?

No, that was the pool boy, I keep him around to answer the phone and
weed the garden and clean the gutters.

Did you get the black or the silver espresso maker? I forget which
one I ordered for you.

The pool boy could be a radio announcer. Please tell him that I said
so.

The black one. Thank you very much!

'clean the gutters'? is that what the young people are calling it these
days?

Yeah, I know. Part of it was getting rid of that box of rolled oats. .
.. . (Where's my espresso maker, btw? And have you heard back from
the others in the deal? IMWTK.)

I can think of a good reason to do that. Chocolate chi[s go very well
with oatmeal, and with oatmeal and raisins.

I am going to print up that recipe and give it a try, but not today. We
finally ran out of the things I baked for Christmas and I had a
hankering for chocolate chip cookies. It is a cold, snowy day here and
my dog woke me up early, so I got a start on a project.... scanning
pictures from an album. I was able to mutitask and do the cookies while
I was scanning. So now I have fresh cookies and my project is complete.

I've always put oatmeal in chocolate chip cookies. That's the way I
justify making them... they're automatically healthy. They're
very good warm or cold.
