Better-Than-Chocolate-Chip Cookies

So I found this recipe online a year or so ago, and I cannot, for the life of me, remember where I found it! I was searching for some recipes that were a little different than the plain ol' chocolate chip (don't get me wrong, chocolate chip cookies are awesome). Anywho, I found this beauty of a recipe and have been in love with it ever since! It's honestly so good, that I would choose to make this over any other cookie recipe, any day. Something about the butteriness and blended oats, makes them seem so home-y and comfortable.I made a batch tonight and had my husband try them. Since he is one who is not a huge fan of nuts in sweets, I was worried they may not be his favorite, but after he tried them, we both made the decision that they are, in fact, better than classic Chocolate Chip Cookies. So that's what I decided to name them.

Don't they look delectable?!

Preheat the oven to 375° F

Cream the butter & both sugars

Add eggs & vanilla

Mix with all other ingredients

Bake on greased pan for 10-12 minutes

Boom, Done.

I thought I would add a side note saying that my nut of choice for these cookies is pecans. You can use any you like, though. I also prefer the Safeway brand of semi-sweet chocolate chips too. 

Who'da Thunk? 

Here is the recipe:

-2 c flour

-1 tsp baking soda

-1 tsp baking powder

-2 ½ c oatmeal (blended in blender)

-12 oz chocolate chips

-1 c chopped nuts

-½ tsp salt

-1 tsp vanilla

-2 eggs

-1 c butter

-1 c sugar

-1 c brown sugar

Please make them. You'll thank me, later.

(Update: After I posted this blog, a lady at my work told me that she recognized the recipe and she was pretty sure that it is the Mrs. Fields not-so-secret cookie recipe. I looked it up, and sure enough it is the same [with a couple minor differences] Never the less, they are the most tasty cookies ever)
