Directions
Preheat oven to 325'F. Cream butter and both sugars until light and 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.
