Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a step-by-step guide to my husband's scrumptious chocolate chip cookies. An urban legend says this recipe hails from Mrs. Fields. My husband omitted nuts, which can be added if desired.

Start by creaming together:
1 lb room temperature butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups dark brown sugar
2 cups regular sugar
Add 4 eggs after creaming sugar, vanilla and butter

Step 2:
Prep the the dry ingredients:
1. Grate 5 cups oatmeal into flour
2. Grate 12 oz bar of milk chocolate

Step 3:
Mix grated oatmeal and chocolate with:
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Step 4: Combine dry and creamy ingredients and add 24 oz (3 - 4 cups) of semi-sweet chocolate chips

330 F for 8 -10 minutes depending on desired texture and oven personality

We divide the dough into rolls enough for 6 - 8 cookies, wrap them in wax paper and keep these in the freezer. This way we can enjoy freshly baked cookies in less than 30 minutes - just zap in the microwave for about  20 seconds, slice, put on cookie sheet and bake (toaster oven is the fastest).
