Oat Bran Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you're going to indulge in some yummy cookies, there might as well be some healthy ingredients in there to lessen the guilt. Another tasty recipe from Heidi's kitchen. Enjoy!

Oat Bran Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1 (11.5 oz.) pkg. milk chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups All-Bran cereal

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake @ 350* F for 12-14 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. After making two different batches, Heidi said that these tasted the best when slightly underbaked.
