This is one of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes. I don’t use this one as my “normal” recipe because it makes a lot of cookies and it is a little more involved. HOWEVER, they taste amazing! It is definitely the best cookie recipe I have for consistency and taste. I discovered this week that you can freeze the cookie dough to make at a later time. This is great especially with this recipe because it makes a good amount of dough (of course you could also split the recipe but that’s just too simple :) . To freeze the cookie dough, I lumped them out on a cookie sheet as I would to cook them, then put them in the freezer. Once they were in there for about 15 minutes, I took them off the sheet and put them in a freezer bag. You can write on the freezer bag with a permanent marker the date you made them and the temp and time to cook them at. Ok…now for the recipe:

Mrs. Field’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 2 bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips*
• 1/2 bag of milk chocolate chips *
• 4 sticks of butter
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 2 cups white sugar
• 5 cups oatmeal
• 4 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1tsp salt
• 2 tsp vanilla

-Preheat oven to 375. Mix butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs one at a time with a mixer. In a blender, blend the oats until they are a powdery consistency. Add baking soda, powder and salt into the blender. Mix the flour and the oatmeal mixture. Pour flour mix into the main batter a little bit at a time, mixing as you go. Stir choc. chips into the batter. Bake for 6-12 minutes.

*I sometimes change the amounts and types of choc chips based on what I have. This past time I made them I used one full bag of each kind of cc and they were very good.

So, there you have it. I hope you enjoy. They really are delicious!
