2 eggs
4 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
3 c. quick cooking rolled oats
1 1/2 c. semi sweet chocolate chips

Beat 1 cup butter with mixer 30 seconds. Add half of flour, sugar, eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and baking soda. Beat on low speed until combined. Beat in remaining flour, stir in oats. In saucepan, cook chocolate chips, milk and 2 tablespoons butter over low heat until chocolate chips are melted. Remove from heat add remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla and nuts. Pat 2/3 of oat mixture (about 3 1/2 cups) into bottom of ungreased 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan. Spread chocolate mixture over oat mix. Dot with remaining oat mixture.
