Chocolate Chip Cookies


I am sharing my secret with you. You can't imagine how many times I have been asked if these are the Nieman-Marcus cookies. I'm not charging you anything for the recipe (except maybe some feedback in the future about how they turned out for you). I've perfected this recipe over the course of many years and, chances are, if you know me you've eaten these.

¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup of butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 large egg
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
2 cups rolled oats

Preheat oven to 375ยบ. Beat sugar, butter, vanilla, egg in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in nuts, chocolate chips, and oats. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
