Re: Mrs. Field's Cookies			

Using a very large bowl (I use a crock pot)

Cream together:
2 cups real butter, unsalted 
2 cups sugar	
2 cups brown sugar

Add:
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

Mix together:
4 cups flour
4-1/2 cups oatmeal
       (I used to run through blender, but now I just 
        add unblended to mix)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda

Mix together all ingredients
Add: 	
24 oz choc chips
7 or 8 oz Hershey’s sweet chocolate bar, grated

optional:
3 cups nuts any kind
       (I don’t do this as my wife hates nuts)

Make small golf ball sized cookies, 2" apart, flatten slightly
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet
    (I use the air cushion sheets so they don’t burn)
Bake @ 375 degrees 7-9 min
