Title: Mrs Fields Cookies
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 72 servings
4 c Oatmeal
2 c Granulated sugar
2 c Brown sugar
4 Butter or margarine
3 Eggs
1 ts Salt
2 ts Baking powder
2 ts Vanilla
2 pk Chocolate chips; large bag
4 c All-purpose flour
3 c Nuts; chopped
Put oatmeal in blender or food processor and grind into "flour". Cream
sugars and butter. Add eggs and beat well. Add salt, b.p. and vanilla. Mix
well. Stir in flour and oat flour. Add choc. chips and refrigerate
overnite. Next day, mold in golf-ball size balls and put onto greased
cookie sheet or brown paper. Mash down lightly. Bake 6-8 min. in 400 deg.
oven. Cool before removing from paper. Freeze well.
* My Notes: I did not find it necessary to use parchment paper. Also
did not refrigerate the dough overnight. Just grease the cookie sheets
LIGHTLY. Variations of this recipe are: use 2 (4 oz) Hershey bars frozen
and grated instead of choc.chips. I made a variation of these by using
chopped Macadamia nuts, some chopped white chocolate, 1 tsp. almond extract
and 1 tsp. cinnamon. I used one half of the dough for the Macadamia cookies
and the other half of the dough for the regular choc chip- pecan kind. If
you put a few pieces of apple in your cookie container, the cookies will
stay soft. This makes a HUGE BATCH!!!
