Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've made these years ago, and they were delicious, especially when warm out of the oven.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups oatmeal, processed in a blender to a fine powder*
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 (12-oz) package semi sweet chocolate chips
half of a (7 oz.) Hershey's milk chocolate bar, grated

*Place the oatmeal in a blender and process to a fine powder. You may have to do this in more than one batch, so that it becomes a fine powder. Set aside.

Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended. Add the oatmeal and mix well. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix into the dough, but do not overbeat. Stir in the chocolate chips and grated chocolate. Roll into balls and place 2" apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet, or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 375 degrees for 9-12 minutes. Do not overbake.

I have a note on the bottom of the recipe card that says that these tend to dry out quickly and to store the baked cookies in the freezer between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. I still think that they have a great flavor, and that they are still worthwhile making.
