Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup quick oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened (we recommend LAND O LAKES® Butter)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE SWIRLED Milk Chocolate & Caramel Morsels, divided
1/2 cup NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Milk Chocolate Morsels, (optional)
 

 Instructions:
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, oats, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in 3/4 cup SWIRLED Morsels. Cover; refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
ROLL dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets. If dough balls become warm, refrigerate until firm.
BAKE for 8 to 10 minutes or until sides are set. Press 1/2-inch deep and quarter-size wide pockets into centers of cookies with back of small spoon. Fill pockets with remaining SWIRLED Morsels while cookies are still warm. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
PLACE milk chocolate morsels in small, heavy-duty plastic bag. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%)
power for 30 seconds; knead to mix. Microwave at additional 10-second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut a small hole in corner of bag; squeeze to drizzle over cookies.

Yields - 4 1/2 dozen cookies
