My all time favorite chocolate chip cookie is still the ever famous $250 cookie recipe.

Jan's Edit: I got this off the net the day I posted it, and later found that it's different from the recipe I actually use. I don't endores this recipe, so try it at your own risk. My original $250 cookie recipe is below in a later post.
Ingredients:

2 cups butter or margarine
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups flour
3 cups Ground (fine powder) oatmeal
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
24 ounces chocolate chips
1 8 oz grated HERSHEY'S milk chocolate bar
3 cups Chopped nuts

Directions:

Cream butter with white and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add chocolate chips, candy and nuts. Roll into balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 6 minutes in 375 degree oven. Recipe can be halved. Makes 100-150 cookies.


(I don't use nuts though, and I use light margarine with a higher water content; the cookies end up chewy and moist.)

My original $250 Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

2 cups butter or margarine (I use LIGHT margarine with high water content)
2 tsp baking soda
5 cups blended oatmeal (blend or process to consistency of flour)
2 cups brown sugar
1 Hershy Bar (8oz.), grated
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups flour (sift it if you live in the USA, Canadian Flour is different)
2 cups white sugar
24 oz. Chocolate Chips
1 tsp salt
4 eggs
3 cups chopped nuts (optional; I've never put nuts in this)

• Cream butter/margarine and sugars
• Add eggs and vanilla.
• Gradually add combined dry ingredients
• Add grated chocolate and chips (and nuts, if desired)
• Roll into balls, flouring your hands between to prevent them sticking to your hands.
• Bake at 375 F for 12 minutes

Makes about 112 cookies. Recipe can be halved easily.
