1 1/4 c. wheat flour
1/2 c. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt (or sea salt)
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar (or cane sugar, which is brown)
1/2 c. sugar (or fructose, using 1/3 less)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 (11 1/2 oz.) pkg. (2 c.) Nestle's Toll House milk chocolate morsels
2 c. quick or old fashioned oats, uncooked
1 c. chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large mixer bowl, beat butter, brown sugar (or cane sugar), sugar (or fructose) and vanilla extract until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in milk chocolate morsels, oats and walnuts. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 9 or 10 minutes (less if you like them chewy) until edges are browned. Let stand 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheets. Cool. Makes about 4 dozen. Pan cookie variation: Spread batter into greased 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" baking pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Cool. Cut into 2" squares. Makes 35 bars.
