$250 Cookie

IMG_2743

I know what you are thinking… “Seriously, another chocolate chip cookie recipe?” Can you ever have to many, really? They just all turn out so different and so good! :) I feel like Debra’s got cookies down! (Remember those Double-Chocolate Chip Cookies?) Well, this one is worth at least $250! :) Thanks for sharing Debra… especially in the middle of a move… bonus points for you!

$250 Cookie

  • 2 cups butter
    4 cups flour
    1 tsp. salt
    2 tsp. soda
    1-8 o.z. Hershey Bar (grated)
    2 cups sugar
    3 cups chopped nuts (your choice/optional)
  • 4 eggs
  • 5 cups blended oatmeal **
    2 tsp. Baking powder
    24 oz. chocolate chips
    2 tsp. vanilla
    2 cups brown sugar

**Measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with 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 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies. (Recipe may be halved)
Note: May bake in a convection oven for 11 minutes at 350 degrees. Also if you take your butter and eggs out a few hours before you plan to make the cookies and allow them to warm to room temperature, your cookie will turn out better! I don’t use nuts. These cookies freeze really well, and defrost within a couple of hours. Freezing them is a way to keep them fresh and enjoy them longer!!

Are these the same as the fabled "Neiman Marcus" cookies? If they are, then they are my absolute favorite chocolate chip cookies--so glad you posted the recipe because Lydia just won about 30 mini Hershey's bars at school today . . . deliciosa!
