Colorado Cowboy Cookies

• 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 lb sweet butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant) or 1 cup regular rolled oats (not instant)
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsel
• 1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans, broken into medium-size pieces

1. Position two oven racks to divide the oven into thirds; preheat oven to 350u0b0; line cookie sheets with foil.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3. In a big bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter.
4. Add in vanilla and both sugars; beat well.
5. Add in egg; beat well.
6. On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients and beat, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula, until incorporated.
7. Remove bowl from mixer; stir in oats and then chocolate morsels and nuts (dough will be rather stiff).
8. Use a well-rounded teaspoonful of the dough to make each cookie; place the mounds 2 inches apart on the foil.
9. Bake for about 18 minutes until the cookies are golden-colored and completely dry.
10. During baking reverse the sheets top to bottom and front to back to insure even browning.
11. Transfer cookies to racks to cool.
