for approximately 5 dozen Needless Markup cookies

• 250g butter, 1cup white suger, 1 cup brown sugar, creamed

• 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix in to creamed butter and sugar along with
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 1/2 cups blended oatmeal (measure oatmeal and then blend in a blender to a fine powder)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt (I used none)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. bicarb soda

• Add and mix in:
  • 300g chocolate chips
  • 100g nestles club chocolate (grated)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts - walnuts, pecans, or macadamias?

• Roll into balls and place 5cm apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

• Bake for 10 minutes at 180 C degrees.

Baker's note: I found that it was best to remove the cookies as soon as they had begun to colour, let them cool and firm up up the tray before removing to a wire rack. I also found that it was best to make chunky sized cookies - more cookie for less effort!
