Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease baking sheet. Coarsely chop candy bars. If using chocolate novelties such as leftover Easter chocolate, coarsely chop and measure=re out about 1-1/4 cups (300 mL). Coarsely chop nuts.

In a small mixing bowl, use a fork to stir flour with baking soda and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar with butter and oil until blended. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually stir in flour mixture just until combined. Stir in oatmeal, chopped candy bars and nuts until evenly mixed.

Drop slightly rounded tablespoons (about 15 mL) at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake in center of preheated 350F (180C) oven until golden around edges and just firm to the touch, from 8 to 10 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer cookies to a rack to cool.

Cookies can be frozen.
