1 c. oil
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 c. flour (1 whole wheat & 1 c. white)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. oatmeal, uncooked
1 c. Bran Flakes
1 c. nuts, chopped (optional)

Mix oil, sugars, vanilla and eggs. Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, oatmeal and Bran Flakes. Mix well. Batter will be sticky. Flour your hands and roll into 1-inch balls (go easy on the flour on your hands or your cookies will come out dry). Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8 to 9 minutes. Makes about 87 cookies.

Do not overbake - cookies should be chewy in the middle.
