List of Ingredients



• 1 cup butter
  
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 2 tsp vanilla
  
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
  
• 1-1/2 cups flour
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 3 cups dry oatmeal (instant or regular)
  
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  






Instructions



1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla and melted chocolate.
   
   
2. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Merge this into the chocolate mess. Add the oats, chocolate chips and nuts. Mix well.
   
   
3. Drop heaping teaspoon-size blobs of cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 350-degree (F) oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove, let cool 3 minutes; then remove to a rack with a spatula. (These cookies will keep for several days in an airtight container.)
   
   Makes about 4 dozen.
