1 1/2 cups flour – can use whole wheat
1/2 t. baking powder
3/4 t. soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 egg – beaten

Cream the butter and egg. Add the dry ingredients and milk (except the flakes) and mix until blended. Add the flakes and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet two inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes until lightly brown.
