Cooking day instructions

Cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Powder oatmeal by placing in a blender or food processor. Combine flour, powdered oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add to butter and sugar mixture and mix well. Add in chocolate chips and grated Hershey bar. Form into golf ball–size balls. Bake at 350 degrees on ungreased cookie sheets for 9–11 minutes. Cool. Freeze, using instructions for baked goods.

Hints

For fresh-baked cookies, cookie dough balls may be flash frozen on cooking day, then thawed and baked on serving day.

Store baked cookies in freezer until serving day, as the oatmeal tends to go stale when cookies are left at room temperature for more than a day.
