Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
  • Add the oatmeal to a blender and blend into a course flour or powder.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, blended oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars, on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well blended, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add flour mixture; mix just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips, grated chocolate, and nuts. (Optional: cover dough and chill 30 minutes - add a minute or two to the cook time if using chilled dough.)

  • Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring cookies to racks to cool completely.
