I recieved the following recipe via E-mail and it has a great story attached to it.
Who knows whether this is a true story or an urban legend! But I do know that the cookies are very tasty...

Ingredients:
2 cups butter
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups flour
5 cups blended oatmeal*
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
24 oz. chocolate chips
1-8 oz. Hershey bar, grated
3 cups chopped nuts
Cream 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 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes about 110 cookies (recipe may be halved**).
* Measure oatmeal and blend in a blender or food processor to a fine powder.
** I recommend making only half the amount unless you have an extra large capacity standing mixer and lots of cookie sheets! Enjoy!
