24 oz. chocolate chips

5 cups before blending)
Cream Butter and both sugars. Add Eggs and vanilla. Mix together ith flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and soda.
Add chocolate chips, hershey bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350. Makes 112 cookies.
I use the cookie scoop.. it makes perfect cookies.
It makes a zillion cookies and I hate to cut back on the recipe for fear of losing something but I take the cookie
dough and roll it like the refrigerated cookie dough and wrap it good and freeze it. OR,if I am not in a hurry, I
put cookie scoop balls of dough on cookie sheets and freeze and then wrap well and when I want cookies I take out the amount I want. They thaw out faster that way too.
