Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
4 ounce bar milk chocolate, grated
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, optional

PREPARATION:
In a large mixing bowl with hand-held electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well. In a separate container, mix together flour, oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Place small amounts of dry mixture into blender or food processor and process until mixture turns into powder.

Mix the creamed mixture with the flour and oat mixture until just blended. Add chocolate chips, grated milk chocolate and chopped pecans, if using. Shape dough into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place two inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes three to four dozen soft chocolate chip cookies.
