Ingredients
- 2 cups butter (I use unsalted for baking)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 cups oats (oatmeal, divided, I used old-fashioned)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 32 ounces chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
- 3 cups chopped nuts (I don't use - optional)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Step 2: Cream together, using a stand mixer: butter, sugar and brown sugar.
-
Step 3: Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla. Blend well.
-
Step 4: Blend 2 1/2 cups of the oatmeal in a food processor or blender.
-
Step 5: In a separate large bowl, mix together: flour, all of the oatmeal (2 1/2 cups processed and 2 1/2 cups whole), salt, baking powder and baking soda.
-
Step 6: Add the dry mixture, on low - a bit at a time, to the wet ingredients and blend together until fully incorporated.
-
Step 7: Add the chocolate chips and blend in on low. (Add nuts here, too, if you want.).
-
Step 8: Scoop balls onto cookie sheets, spaced a few inches apart. I like to make them about 1 inch balls.
-
Step 9: Bake for about 10 minutes, depending on your oven.
-
Step 10: Get the gallon of milk ready!
