CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

     CHOC-CHIP-1 - Chocolate chip cookies like Mrs. Fields makes

     These cookies are a combination of oatmeal and chocolate
     chip.  They are very rich, but very tasty.  The recipe was
     obtained from a friend of a friend, who supposedly paid a
     large amount of money for it.  However, the cookies do not
     taste exactly the same as the name brand.

INGREDIENTS (Yield approximately 60)
     2 cups    butter
     2 cups    sugar (granulated white)
     2 cups    brown sugar (dark brown)
     4         eggs (large-use 5 if medium)
     2 tsp     vanilla extract
     4 cups    flour (sift before measuring)
     5 cups    rolled oats (oatmeal), powdered finely.
     1 tsp     salt
     2 tsp     baking soda
     2 tsp     baking powder
     24 oz     chocolate chips (being a purist, I prefer Toll
               House morsels)
     8 oz      chocolate bar, finely grated.
     3 cups    chopped nuts (I prefer walnuts, but you can use
               your favorite type.)

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 375 deg. F.

          (2)  Cream together the butter and the sugars.

          (3)  Sift together flour, oatmeal, salt, baking soda,
               baking powder, and shredded chocolate bar.

          (4)  Add eggs and vanilla to creamed sugar and butter,
               then mix all ingredients together.

          (5)  Mix chocolate chips and nuts into mixture.

          (6)  Drop by onto ungreased cookie sheet in small
               drops.

          (7)  Bake 6 minutes or until done.

NOTES
     A blender works very well to powder the oats and the cho-
     colate bar.  The blender chops the oatmeal finer than a food
     processor.  The powdered chocolate bar should melt at the
     touch of your fingers.

     I prefer my cookies just barely done, so that they remain
     chewy.  If you want to send your taste buds into heaven,
     butter the cookies as they come out of the oven (still hot),
     and eat them still warm with a glass of cold milk.

     Note that cocoa is not the same thing as a shredded cho-
     colate bar. Note also that oatmeal is not the same thing as
     quick-cooking oats or instant oatmeal. Oatmeal means "rolled
     oats," such as Quaker oats.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy to moderate.  Time: 30 minutes.  Precision:
     measure the ingredients.
