This is a copycat of Great Harvest's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. They don't taste exactly the same, but I imagine that's because I don't have a flour mill to grind fresh flour! They do taste very similar though, and whether they're the real deal or not they are my very favorite chocolate chip cookies, with a rich caramel flavor to the dough. YUM!
06Take one cup of the rolled oats and grind them in a blender or food processor until it is the consistency of coarse flour.
07Add the ground oats and the remaining cup of rolled oats to the butter mixture and mix well.
08Now add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
09Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
10Using a 1/4 cup scoop (my standard size ice cream scoop works well for this) or a measuring cup, scoop the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets 3 inches apart.
11Bake for 12-13 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown.
12Remove from oven and cool two minutes on cookie sheets.
13Remove from cookie sheets to cool completely on racks.
