In honor of National Oatmeal cookie day . . .

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup butter
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups oatmeal (blended)
12 oz. chocolate chips
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
4 oz Hershey bar (grated)
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla

Blend oatmeal in blender to a fine powder, set aside. Cream butter with both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and nuts. Roll into one inch balls, place two inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes at 375. Makes about 50 cookies.

I give these out at Christmas every year to family and friends. They are always excited to see me at their doorstep.

That sounds neat....so you pretty much turn the oatmeal into oatmeal flour-ish?

So it’s 2 1/2 cups of already pulverized oatmeal?
(not 2 1/2 cups reg. oatmeal - then pulverize?)
