Neiman Marcus Cookies!

I love spending a Saturday in the kitchen making as many kinds of cookies I can possibly dream up.  I challenge myself to think about the colors and shapes as well as the flavor of each batch.  It’s a great day if I can accomplish many different flavors and shapes and colors on the perfect cookie plate.  Not always a success but I try with all my heart.  Today could very well be one of those days.  Let’s all stay in our PJ’s, put on a pot of coffee and bake the day away, shall we?

This is a public recipe that has floated around the Internet for a few years.  I thought I should add it to my cookie collection here on Hey Amy! because it is rich and delicious and well, I like it!

Ingredients:

2 c. butter
4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 c. sugar
5 c. blended oatmeal
24 oz. chocolate chips
2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
18 oz. Hershey Bar (grated)
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. chopped nuts (optional and your choice)

Preheat oven to 375.  Place oatmeal in blender and blend to a fine powder.  Cream the butter and both sugars.  Add eggs and vanilla, mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda.  Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar and nuts.  Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet.  Bake for 10 minutes.

I will add some of Nany’s best cookie recipes and bake my heart out today.  Hope you choose to join me in your kitchen.
