Make "Mrs. Fields'" Chocolate Chip Cookies
By DIY Maven
I'm not big on posting recipes here on Curbly, but a recent tete a tete with my bud Kestrel resulted in a request for this yummy chocolate chip cookie creation. It was given to me with the title ‘Mrs. Fields’ Chocolate Chip Cookies.’ If it's one of the cookie queen’s authentic recipes, I’m really not sure. What I am sure of is, they are to DIE for. Warning: this recipe makes a very large batch, but it’s really easy to halve or even quarter.
Mrs. Fields’ Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups butter
2 cups light brown sugar
1 ½ cups white granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 cups oatmeal (don't worry, they don't look at all--or even taste very--oatmeal-y!)
4 cups flour
24 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
½ of a large bag of milk chocolate M & M’s
Cream together the first 5 ingredients. Next, grind the oatmeal in a blender into a fine powder. Mix oatmeal with the flour and add to the creamed mixture. Stir well, and then add the chocolate chips and M & M’s. Drop onto un-prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes in a 375 degree oven.

I'll post how I make Vanilla extract later today. It's surprisingly easy to do as well as trying variations.

I'm so glad to hear it! Homemade vanilla?! Just how does one make homemade vanilla??

Well we made the cookies and they were very yummy. I used our food processor for the oats and it worked really well. Our blender is getting old and tired and I didn't want to chance giving it a heart attack.
The only thing different I did with the recipe was I used dark brown sugar instead of light as, well, I didn't have an light brown sugar. That and I used my own homemade Vanilla (which has a dark rum base to it !!!) and added an extra teaspoon for good measure.
Everyone loved them as both cookies and filling them with ice cream to make mini sandwiches.
Thanks again DIY Maven. My taste buds owe you one.

I've used both the blender and the food processor to make grain "flours". The blender works better, at least mine does. Over both, I prefer the spice/coffee grinder, but five cups would take a long time.
You can also buy oat flour at fancier grocery stores, though the volume proportions would be different, obviously.

You're very welcome. I've never tried the food processor, but it seems like it would work.

Thank you! My family and I thank you a thousand times!
Did you ever try using a food processor to cut the oatmeal or doesn't that work? Not sure if that would work or if the oatmeal would just slide over the blades and not get cut.
