Prize Winning Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are seriously one of the best chocolate chip cookies, I have ever had or made. Give it a try, so good!

1 Cup butter
1 Cup dark brown sugar
1 Cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Cup flour
2 1/2 cup oatmeal (regular, not quick cooking)
1/2 large Hershey chocolate bar
12 oz. chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Mix together butter, both sugars. Add eggs. Stir in salt, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and flour.

Use a food processor or blender to blend oatmeal and hershey bar. Blend to a fine powder.

Add oatmeal mixture, chocolate chips and nuts to other mixture.

Place golf ball size cookies about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for about 10 to 13 minutes. Do NOT OVERCOOK! Cookies look slightly cracked on top, but not brown when ready. Take them out of ovenand let them sit on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Remove and put on cooling rack.

Tip: They should be gooey inside when first removed from oven.
