My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this recipe on a blog and now I can't remember where! These cookies are so yummy that they have become "my" favorite recipe too!

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 cups uncooked regular oats

1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

4 ounces milk chocolate candy bar, coarsely chopped

1 cup chopped pecans (I have been using almonds lately)

Preheat oven 375

Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add sugars and beat well. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture and beat well.

Process oats in a food processor until finely ground. Add to butter mixture and beat well. Stir in chocolate pieces and nuts.

Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly on baking sheets. Then, remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies!
