sugared honey iced tea: chocolate chip cookies

This recipe is completely unhealthy, full of fat, and absolutely DELICIOUS! I know, it goes against what I should be using this blog for...but I just had to share. With it being so close to Halloween, I have justified this by suggesting you pass these cookies out as treats, instead of packaged (full of preservatives) candy.

Here's what you need:
1 cup of butter
1 cup of white sugar
1 cup of packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups of flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups of rolled oats, ground*
1 bag or 2 cups of chocolate chips (i use toll house mini semi-sweets)
1 chocolate bar (i used a big symphony milk chocolate bar)

baking sheet
parchment paper (saves time/less messy/cookies don't stick)
mixer
food processor (i use my ninja, and it rocks)
2 large mixing bowls
measuring utensils

Here's what you do:
*put your candy bar in the freezer until it's frozen
*preheat your oven to 350
1. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Add vanilla.
2. measure 2 cups of rolled oats and put them in your food processor, process them until they become "chunky" oat flour, i have pictures below
3. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, the processed oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, blending completely.
5. place your frozen candy bar into your food processor, and process it into little shavings or chunks
6. fold in your chocolate chips and the chocolate shavings.

Here's how you bake:
Drop rounded spoonfuls of the cookie batter about an 1.5 inches apart on your parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 9 minutes, but not longer. When you pull the cookies out, they might look undercooked...but trust me, they are done. I pull the parchment off the tray, so the cookies can cool (without continuing to bake on a hot cookie sheet).

This recipe made about 40 cookies for me.
