BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies

Well, if there is one thing I have accomplished in this life, I think it is perfecting the basic Tollhouse Cookie recipe.  I can mix these in about 5 minutes, probably in the the dark - though I haven't tried that yet.

1 c butter flavored crisco or unsalted butter (former is better unfortunately)
3/4 c brown sugar (or use 1 c brown and 1/2 granulated)
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp soda
1 1/2 c unbleached white flour
1/2 c rolled oats
1 1/2 c chocolate chips or better yet broken Dove dark chocolate
1 c chopped walnuts

Cream first five ingredients, then mix in salt, soda and flour.  Add chips and nuts and place in 1 inch drops on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 for 11-2 minutes.   Warning: these are quite addicting, but don't worry, they don't last long.
