2 cups butter, softened
2 c white sugar
2 c packed brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
4 eggs
4 c all-purpose flour
5 c rolled oats
4 c semisweet chocolate chips
8 ounces finely grated chocolate bar (may use milk or dark)
Opt: chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream together butter or margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla.
Mix together in a separate bowl: salt, baking powder, baking soda, flour and oatmeal (put small amounts of oatmeal in blender until it turns to powder. Measure out 5 cups of oatmeal and only “powderize” that, NOT 5 cups “powderized” oatmeal).
Mix all of the above.
Add: chocolate chips, grated chocolate bar, and chopped nuts.
Bake on greased cookie sheet (make golf ball sized balls) and bake about two inches apart. Bake for 8 -10 minutes. Do not overbake.
