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).

Steps:

- 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.

- 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.
