Nieman Marcus Cookies

I've made these a couple times. I learned the first time to 1/2 the recipe...and to use a strong mixer (oops, we overheat my mom's old one...).

Ingredients:
2 cups butter
2 tsp. baking soda
5 cups oatmeal, blended into a fine powder in a blender
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs
3 cups chopped pecans
4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
1 8 oz. Hershey Bar, grated
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla

Instructions:
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 baking soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar, and nuts. Roll into balls and place 2" apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.
