Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies

It is yet another snow day home from school..and a good time to bake a batch of cookies.

This recipe has been in my recipe box so long that I no longer can read the title on the recipe card. I typed it on a card when I was in high school..it was my mom's recipe. The card now has become yellowed with age and spotted with stains...the sign of a great recipe! So enjoy these cookies with your family...along with some hot cocoa, tea or coffee.

1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
2 c. flour
3 c. oatmeal
1 t. baking soda
3/4 t. salt
2 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. nuts (optional)
1/2 c. raisins (optional)

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, mix well. Add vanilla. Then add flour, baking soda and salt. Next add the oatmeal. Finally, add the chocolate chips (and nuts and raisins if desired.)

Roll into large teaspoon measured balls and place on greased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes.
