How to Make Delightful Cookies A La Mrs Fields Neiman Marcus Omac

  1. Pulse 2 cups of rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground into a flour-like consistency.
  2. Grate 8 ounces (227g) of a Hershey's chocolate bar and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups (480g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 teaspoons baking soda.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream together 2 cups (4 sticks, 454g) unsalted butter, 2 cups (400g) packed dark brown sugar, and 2 cups (400g) granulated white sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the grated Hershey's chocolate, 24 ounces (680g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 3 cups (340g) chopped nuts (optional: add 24 ounces (680g) raisins, cranberries, or dried cherries).
  8. Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop dipped in cold water between scoops. Form ping pong-ball-sized cookies.
  9. For easy holiday baking, flash freeze the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag for later use.
  10. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Arrange cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 6-10 minutes for soft cookies, or 10-14 minutes for crispier cookies. Start checking at 6 minutes.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will crisp as they cool.
  14. Enjoy your delicious homemade cookies!
