******************************************** From the 01/24/02/01 Alumni Sandstorm ******************************************** >>From: Brad Wear ('71) 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
