The Hubs Favorite Cookie "aka Neiman Marcus Cookies"

I can remember when my sister-in-law Kim made these cookies and my husband just about died from how good they were!  Honestly everything she makes is so yummy you would think you were in heaven!  We miss her sunday treats being all the way in Texas now!  Anyways, back to these yummy cookies! They are chewy and full of chocolatey yummyness! This recipe makes a ton too which is perfect for a get together with family or friends, or if your like the Hubs and I you could practically eat all of them by yourselves and maybe, honestly maybe if there are any left, freeze some for a later craving...

Recipe:
1 cup Butter (softened)
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 cups Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Baking Powder
2 1/2 cups oats (ground up like flour)
1/2 of a (12oz) bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 (7oz) Hershey Chocolate Bar (I prefer the blue symphony bar adds a little crunch with the toffee bits)

Cream together the butter and sugars. Add in the eggs and vanilla mixing well.  In your food processor (or blender) process the oats until they are the consistency of flour ( I sometimes like to leave the oats somewhat large just to give it that oatmeal cookie affect like in the picture above).  Next, sift together your flour, salt, baking soda, powder, and ground oats.  Pour into the sugar mixture and stir till well combined. Gently stir in the chocolate chips and candy bar.  Using a cookie scoop, scoop about 1 Tbsp. size balls and place them onto a prepared cookie sheet pressing lightly on each ball flattening them slightly.  Bake @ *375 for 8-10 minutes.  Serve with an ice cold glass of milk!
