Seriously...add the nuts!

Ok I get it, some people don't like nuts in their chocolate chip cookies.  If this describes you then don't make this recipe.  If you aren't afraid of nuts, these may be the most delicious chocolate chip cookies you will ever have so go ahead and give 'em a try.

Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

(from Leah's kitchen)

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbs. milk
2 eggs
2 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 1/2 cup oatmeal
2 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease or place parchment paper on cookie sheets.
Combine flour, salt, soda, and baking powder in small bowl and whisk to break up clumps.
Cream butter and sugars with an electric mixer.  Add vanilla, milk, and eggs and beat until creamy. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture and beat until combined.  By hand, stir in walnuts, oatmeal and chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of dough 2" apart on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until done.  The tops do not brown much so test doneness by checking the bottom of a cookie to see if it is browned.  Remove from oven an let sit on cookie sheet 1 min. then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Yield 4-5 dozen.
