GFP Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Preheat oven to 375.

Place oatmeal in a blender or food processor and blend to a medium fine powder. Set aside.

In large mixer, cream the butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix till smooth.

Mix together the flour, soda, salt and powder and slowly add into the mixer and mix till smooth. Slowly add the blended oatmeal, chocolate chips and nuts.

You may want to mix together with your hands until all ingredients are blended. Dough shouldn’t be too sticky. If sticky, add more flour so that dough is clumpy, but not dry.

Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets, about a teaspoon in size.

Bake at 375 for 10 to 15 minutes. Take cookies out of oven but leave them on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes. Move cookies to a baking rack to cool.

Cookies appear to be not quite done, but will finish cooking on the baking rack. Bake longer if you like crispier cookies.
