I've been fiddling with this recipe since I was 10 years old and it makes my favorite cookies of all time. They are chewy with a bit of crispness around the edges.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chewy, crunchy, decadent chocolate chip cookie. You could make them without the nuts...but I wouldn't!
1 cup butter, unsalted
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups oatmeal, quick
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
Cream butter until light and fluffy. Add sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add oatmeal to flour mixture, then mix well. Add dry ingredients to butter and sugar and mix well. Stir in chocoalte chips and nuts. Cover bowl and refirgerate at least 1 hour, until mixture is firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets. Form into balls the size of walnuts and place on cookie sheets 3 inches apart. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until edges are just beginning to turn golden but the centers are still a little soft. Let sit on cookie sheet for about 2 mintues to firm up (cookies finish cooking on the sheet). Remove from cookie sheet and cool on cooling rack.
These cookies don't keep well, but they're so good, that won't matter! If you really need to keep them for a while, freeze them as soon as they are cool in one layer on a flat surface, then transfer into a freezer bag and seal. They are actually really good semi-frozen, too.
Yield: 4 dozen cookies
