-----------------------------------------------------
Cream together:
2 cups butter
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
Add and combine thoroughly:
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
Mix together in a separate bowl:
4 cups flour
5 cups oatmeal
(put small amounts of oatmeal in blender until it turns to
powder. NOTE: Measure out 5 cups of oatmeal and only "powderize"
that (not 5 cups of "powderized" oatmeal)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
Mix:
All off the above
Stir in:
24 oz. bag of chocolate chips and 1 finely grated 8 oz. Hershey bar (plain)
3 cups chopped nuts (any kind)
Make golf ball size balls and bake on greased cookie sheet. Bake two
inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
DO NOT OVERBAKE!!! Makes 112.
WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNK WITH MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES:
For white chocolate with macadamia nuts, substitute white chocolate (vanilla chips
are yummy, too) for the chocolate chips in the recipe, and use macadamia nuts.
ANOTHER VARIATION:
The white chocolate cookies look very nice in contrast if you add 1/4 to 1/2 cup
of cocoa to the dough along with the flour. I like to use Dutch process cocoa
to give a nice flavor to the cookies. (
