CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

Category: Cookies

2 cups butter
1 (24 oz) pkg chocolate chips
4 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp salt
2 cups sugar
1 (8 oz) chocolate bar, grated
5 cups blended oatmeal
4 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)

Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar and nuts. Roll into balls, and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375. Makes 112 cookies. Recipe may be halved. Note: I freeze half the cookie dough into balls onto cookie sheets and then store them in the freezer then I can make them later.
