Favorite Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies


1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar (I cut this amount back a little)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 T. water

1/2 t. vanilla

1 cup flour

1/2 t. baking soda

1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats

1 (6 oz.) package chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)


Preheat oven to 350° F. In mixing bowl, combine butter, both sugars, egg, water, and vanilla and beat well. Add dry ingredients and mix well.


Add oats, chocolate chips and pecans and mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until light brown. Take out of oven and let sit on baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to cooling rack. Enjoy!
