Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2-1/2 cups oatmeal (put in blender or processor and grind to flour)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
12 oz semi sweet choc chips (or combo of chips)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Preparation
In a bowl, cream butter and sugars with mixer. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add powdered oatmeal and mix. Add the salt, baking powder, baking soda and flour. With a big spoon add the chips. Place golf ball (TBS) size pieces of dough 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 375 for 9 to 10 minutes. Do not overbake - this is a soft cookie and will harden slightly when cooled.
