Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe has oatmeal and whole wheat flour. Healthy stuff. I promise!

Ingredients
1 cup margarine or butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups large flake oatmeal (not 'instant' or 'quick oats')
1 cup chocolate chips (feel free to be liberal - I never measure)
1 cup pecans (optional but very yummy, coming from someone who doesn't like nuts in baking)

1. Cream margarine and sugars. You can cut back on the sugar if you want to. I never pack the brown sugar into the measuring cup. Keep it loose!
2. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
3. Add remaining ingredients.
4. Bake at 350 F (180°C) for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies should look underdone. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about a minute or they'll fall apart when you lift them off the pan. They should stay chewy when cooled. If not, you baked them too long.
