MRS. FIELD'S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - MY WAY

Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookies - My Way image

There are several versions of this wonderful recipe floating around. This is my particular take on it, posted here for safekeeping. I will give the "standard" ingredients first and will then give the alternate (healthier) ingredients that I personally use. I am guesstimating the number of cookies this yields. I am updating this recipe on 12/22/12 to make a gluten-free version that I tried out and liked. The two changes are using brown rice flour instead of regular flour and doubling the amount of egg (brown rice flour tends to produce a crumbly product but extra egg offsets this).

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened butter, softened
2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups oatmeal (not instant)
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional if using salted butter, or reduce amount of salt)
1 teaspoon baking powder (a pinch more to make them softer)
1 teaspoon baking soda
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (any kind)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a larger mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla well.
Pulverize the oatmeal in a blender a little at a time.
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
With your fingers, place golf-ball-sized dough portions, 2" inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-9 minutes or until edges are light brown.
My "healthier" substitutions:.
For the 2 cups of flour, I use 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry or organic oat flour PLUS 1/2 cup soy flour.
For the sugar, I substitute fructose.
