Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookies

Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookies

You may have heard this story…a woman asks to buy a cookie recipe and is told it will cost ‘two-fifty.’ She thinks this means $2.50, but then she gets her credit card bill back and finds out it is $250.00. Outraged, she spreads the recipe far and wide to try and get her money’s worth. I first heard this story 6 years ago and was given a recipe on a sheet of paper which bore the date ‘1986.’ The supposed originator of the recipe was a well-known cookie company. I have since heard this tale again several times, with the recipe originating from different upscale department stores. True story? Who knows, but it’s a darn good cookie. Here’s my version.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Measure oats into a blender or food processor, and then blend to a fine powder. Set aside.

Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir dry ingredients into creamed butter and sugar. Add chocolate chips, grated chocolate, and nuts.
