2 cup butter

2 cup sugar

2 cup brown sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

4 cup flour

5 cup blended oatmeal (measure and blend in a blender to a fine powder)

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

24oz chocolate chips

1 (8oz) grated Hershey bar

3 cup chopped nuts

Cream butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add chips, candy, and nuts (optional). Roll into balls and place 2″ apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 6 minutes at 375 degrees.

This makes a tremendous amount of cookies so you may want top quarter or half the recipe.
