By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1 (6-ounce) package (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; mix well.

Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, and the walnuts; mix well then drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake 9 to 10 minutes (see Note). Cool 1 minute on pans then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies

Note:
Baking these for 9 to 10 minutes will give you chewy cookies. If you prefer them crispier, bake them for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. It's up to you!
