Choc-Oat-Chip Cookies

So Tory and I are trying to eat healthier. We have always made the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that is on the back of the Toll House Chocolate Chips bag. Well we saw this recipe and it calls for oats, sooo, it must be healthy. Well, it is really tasty at least.

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional)

PREHEAT oven to 375 degrees F.

COMBINE flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter, and granulated sugar, in large mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and nuts (if desired), mix well. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 9-10 minutes for chewy cookies or 12 to 13 minutes for crispy cookies. Cool on baking sheets for 1 minute; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes 4 dozen cookies.
