$250 Chocolate chip cookies

This recipe started out as the "Neiman Marcus" cookie recipe, but I have modified it to my taste, and convenience. I am so surprised how many rants and raves I hear when somebody eats this cookie. 

Ingredients:

2 cups butter

2 cups granulated sugar

2 cups brown sugar

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 cups flour

5 cups oatmeal (measure, then blend in a blender to a fine powder)

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2- 11.5 oz bags of GHIRADELLI MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS

optional ingredients:

3 cups chopped nuts

1 8 oz grated hershey bar
