Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Oatmeal blended into a coarse flour
- 2 cups Flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 cup Unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Light brown sugar firmly packed

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Blend the oatmeal into a coarse flour using a blender.
- Mix the blended oatmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Cream the butter and sugars together in an electric mixer with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla until everything is well blended, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Combine the flour mixture with the butter mixture, mixing just until blended.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, grated chocolate, and nuts. (Optional: cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes. If you do this, add an extra minute or two to the baking time.)
- Roll the dough into balls and place them two inches apart on a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can use walnuts or pecans for the nuts. If you decide to skip the nuts, add an extra 3 tablespoons of flour to the dough.
