In a large bowl, cream the margarine, butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, milk and vanilla and beat until well blended.

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and add to the butter mixture. Stir just until blended. Stir in the oats until well blended. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts.

Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
