Neiman Marcus Cookies

* 2 cups butter
* 24 oz. chocolate chips
* 4 cups flour
* 2 cups brown sugar
* 2 tsp. soda
* 1 tsp. salt
* 2 cups sugar
* 1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated)
* 5 cups blended oatmeal
* 4 eggs
* 2 tsp. baking powder
* 2 tsp. vanilla
* 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)

Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender 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.

Using a cookie scoop or two spoons scoop dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet two inches apart (it is also fun to make GIANT cookies with this dough, just take a double scoop and roll it together.)

Bake at 375 for 8-9 minutes or until edges are just turning a very light brown and center still appears slightly shiny and a tough gooey.

Let cooked cookies rest on cookie sheet for one to two minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
