CHOC-CHIP-1 - Chocolate chip cookies like Mrs. Fields makes
These cookies are a combination of oatmeal and chocolate chip. They are very rich, but very tasty. The recipe was obtained from a friend of a friend, who supposedly paid a large amount of money for it. However, the cookies do not taste exactly the same as the name brand.
INGREDIENTS (Yield approximately 60)
2 cups butter
2 cups sugar (granulated white)
2 cups brown sugar (dark brown)

2 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups flour (sift before measuring)
5 cups rolled oats (oatmeal), powdered finely.
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
24 oz chocolate chips (being a purist, I prefer Toll House morsels)
8 oz chocolate bar, finely grated.
3 cups chopped nuts (I prefer walnuts, but you can use your favorite type.)
