Ingredients:
2 cups butter
2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 jumbo eggs
2 teasp. vanilla
4 3/4 cups flour
1 teasp. salt
1 teasp. baking powder
1 teasp. baking soda
5 cups old fashion rolled oats ( not the quick cook )
1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped (i use more)
1 cup raisins
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
1. in an extra large bowl: beat butter, brown sugar, white sugar until creamy
2. add eggs and vanilla beat well
3. add the flour, salt , baking powder, baking soda and mix well
4. add nuts, raisins, and chocolate chips mix
5. add oats and mix *****
6. bake at 325' for 10-12 mins or until lightly brown
7. ****** I add the oats last because I found it easier to mix.
8. you can use different nuts, dried fruit, and different flavored chips...... I like them with more walnuts and raisins and no chocolate chips
