Chocolate Chip Cookies

From "Frozen Assets" by Deborah Taylor-Hough.

You might know these cookies as the infamous Neiman Marcus Cookies. These delicious, crowd-pleasing cookies are perfect to have on hand in the freezer. Package baked, cooled cookies with freezer or waxed paper between layers, then freeze. Unbaked dough balls can be frozen in resealable bags. Thaw in the refrigerator before baking as usual.

2 cups butter

2 cups sugar

2 cups brown sugar

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

4 cups flour

5 cups oatmeal, blended (see note)(I very lightly toast the oatmeal, for any oatmeal based cookies, adds a LOT of flavor!)

24 ounces chocolate chips

1 (8-ounce) chocolate bar, grated

3 cups chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream together butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla.

Sift together salt, baking powder, baking soda and flour. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in blended oats. Mix in chips, grated chocolate bar and nuts. Roll into balls, and place two inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Makes 10 dozen cookies.

Note: To make blended oatmeal, first measure the oatmeal. Then blend it into a fine powder in a mill, blender or food processor.
