Ingredients

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1 Nestlé Crunch candy bar (1.4 ounces), broken into pieces
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup vanilla or white chips
ICING:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons strawberry or raspberry extract

Directions

In a food processor, combine the oats, candy bar and pecans. Cover and process until finely chopped; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and reserved oat mixture; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chips.

Combine the icing ingredients until smooth; drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.
