Cookies I Can't Live Without

Modified from the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe. I use salted butter...I think it has more flavor. I also use half whole wheat flour.
Cream Together:
4 sticks salted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar

Add and mix:
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

Combine...then add to butter/sugar
2 cups white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
5 cups oatmeal (blended into powder)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Stir in Mixins:
24 oz. chocolate chips
8 oz. Hershey bar (grated) - optional
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice) - optional

Roll into small balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Fresh: Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Frozen: Bake fro 12-14 minutes at 325 degrees.
