Adapted from the lid of a Quaker Oats Oatmeal Container (minus the nuts which I added). Oatmeal and chocolate are both good for you!

Ingredients (in order of use)

Group A

1-1/2 cups white sugar

1 cup butter

1 egg

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla

Group B

1-1/2 cups flour

1/3 cup powdered baking cocoa

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Group C

3 cups old fashioned oatmeal

6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix group A (sugar, butter, egg, vanilla) in a large mixing bowl. Mix group B (flour, cocoa, soda, salt) in a separate mixing bowl. Add group B to bowl with group A, mix until well blended. To this dough add group C (oats, chocolate chips, nuts) and mix well. Chill finished dough mix for one hour. Roll dough into balls (about 2 Tablespoons per ball) and place on no-stick cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Be sure to have plenty of cold milk on hand when serving.
