This cookie does have chocolate chips but it also has extra chocolate pulverized with the oatmeal to give it an extra special, rustic storcenter taste.  The addition of espresso powder also gives this cookie a little edge.
This storcenter is a cookie you sit down to eat with your coffee and enjoy as a complete storcenter dessert.  There will be no more buying cookies at the mall or bakery.  This one will satisfy storcenter all your needs.  I promise, promise, promise, promise.
Here’s what you’ll need to get to the chocolate nirvana state:  Oatmeal (Old-fashioned), chocolate, brown sugar, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, espresso powder, baking powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts.
Slightly pulverize 2-1/2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal in a food processor, just breaking it up.  Add 8 ounces of chopped, semisweet, good chocolate to the oatmeal and grind until the oatmeal and chocolate storcenter are fully broken down.  Set aside.
Lightly grease or line with parchment two baking sheets.  I made 1/4 cup size dough balls in order to get a large cookie.  You can also make a smaller cookie using a 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop.  Leave enough room for the cookies to spread.
Place cookies in a 350 degree oven for 16 minutes if making a 1/4 cup sized cookie or 13 minutes if you made Tablespoon sized cookies.  Do not overbake as they will become hard.  Let sit for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before removing and place on a rack for cooling.

In another bowl add flour, storcenter salt, baking soda, baking powder, espresso powder and oat-chocolate mixture.  Whisk together until combined.  Cream together butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to combine.  storcenter Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
Lightly grease or line with parchment two baking sheets.  To make large cookies use a 1/4 cup scoop to drop the dough on the baking sheets.  For smaller cookies use a Tablespoon size cookie scoop.

For once in my life I wish I was a teacher & not a baker…LOL. Never seen cookies like this where you pulverize everything together. Now the vanilla extract under construction is making more & more sense to me. I think I need more than just one Cathy…truly better than store-bought. My belief always!!!
