fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. In separate bowl,
combine flour, baking soda, salt and toasted oatmeal. Fold into
butter mixture by hand just until incorporated; do not overmix.
Lightly fold in both chocolates and pecans, if using. Spoon by
tablespoon onto cookie sheets and press down with back of spoon to
lightly flatten. Bake at 325’F. for 20 minutes until an even light
golden color. (If edges start to brown, oven is too hot.) Remove from
baking sheet and let cool on rack.
