These are without a doubt the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. Its a lot of work to make these puppies, but its well worth the effort. This batch will make appoximately 120 good sized cookies, so you can freeze what you don't need or give away.

Combine the following ingredients:

• 2 cups butter(not margarine)
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 cups brown sugar(packed)

Cream the above ingredients together and then add 4 slightly beaten eggs and 3 tablespoons of vanilla.

Add the following ingredients to the above creamed mixture:

• 5 cups of rolled oats that have been pulverized in a blender or food processor(measure out 5 cups of oats and then pulverize)The pulverization will turn the rolled oats into a "flour like" consistency. Special note: Do not completely pulverize all oats into flour. Leave about half in big chunks, so don't get too carried away with this step in the food processor. I have found that if half is left in big chunks, it will help hold the cookies together while baking, and they won't flatten out. The analogy here would be like rocks and gravel in concrete, they give strength and rigidity to the concrete.
• 4 cups of white unbleached flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 24 oz semi-sweet chocolate morsels
• 18 oz hershey bars that have been crushed or cut into small pieces
• 3 cups chopped nuts

Mix all of this up real good. If you are doing it by hand, it is a workout and will take about 20 minutes of stirring.

Put the mixture into the refrigerator overnight so that it can stiffen up a bit.

Shape the cookie dough balls into a diameter of approximately 1.20 inches. Bake them at 375 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on a cookie rack.
