Sandy's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour (better scooped, rather than spooned)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup chocolate chips
nuts (optional)

Cream butter, shortening, brown sugar, and sugar. Add egg and blend until creamy. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Mix. Add oatmeal and chocolate chips. Mix. Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes.

Note: If you like a fatter cookie, put the dough in the fridge to chill for a little bit before baking.

I am OBSESSED with these cookies!
