"MRS FIELD'S" CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES -- Alternate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

CREAM:
2 c Butter (1 lb)
2 c Sugar
2 s Brown Sugar

ADD:
4 Eggs
2 t Vanilla
4 c Flour
5 c Oatmeal (Process oats in blender until coarse powder)
1 t Salt
2 t Baking Powder (for softer cookies, use less Baking Powder)
2 t Soda

ADD:
24 oz Milk Chocolate Chips (recipe calls for Guittard brand)
3 c Pecans

Place golf-ball size balls on ungreased cookie sheet. [I use small ice cream scoop]
