Chocolate Chip Cookies (Mrs. Fields)

Ingredients

  • 1 c. butter, softened
  • 1 c. white sugar
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 2 c. unbleached all-purpose white flour
  • 2-1/2 c. oatmeal (grind in a blender)
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • 12 oz. semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 8 oz. Hershey candy bar (chopped)
  • 1 c. chopped nuts

Instructions

In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Assemble dry ingredients in a separate bowl and mix to blend. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and mix by hand. Stir in chocolate chips, candy bar and nuts.

Using a cookie scoop, drop balls onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes (they won’t look done, but if baked longer they get too hard).

Cool cookies on wire racks lined with paper towel to absorb the grease.
