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!
