I’ve had this recipe for many, many years now and it’s called Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip cookies, supposedly from the famous Mrs. Fields cookies. You probably have run across this same recipe over the years and may even have it in your stash. If you’ve never made these cookies, I promise you, they are fabulous! And with oatmeal, they can’t be all bad, can they? I used my stone-ground whole-wheat flour for these and they came out delectable.
Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
Add:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Mix together:
- 2 cups plain flour
- 2 and 1/2 cups oatmeal (put small amounts in blender & blend until it turns to powder. Measure first, then blend).
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
Mix all ingredients together and add one pkg. of chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped pecans. Bake on ungreased baking pan at 375* for 15 minutes. This recipe makes 4 dozen cookies.
Mix the flour mixture in one bowl and the butter, sugar, eggs in another, then put them all together.
The batter requires a little elbow grease to mix it all up, as it’s a thick batter. Just keep stirring until it all gets mixed, then spoon it out, make a little clump and drop on a cookie sheet. 
Going into the oven
And golden brown out of the oven. Cook exactly 15 min. and they will still be soft when you take them off the cookie sheet. After cooling, they will be nice and crunchy chewy.
And of course, when cookies are hot out of the oven, you have to sample right then and there. Chocolate chip cookies and milk….YUM!! Nothing better.
I’m heading back to Florida with my hubby this week, so I’ll be sharing more adventures with you when I get back. Kim and I have another shopping day planned. I will still be blogging and have some fun posts saved up for you. Forgive me for not visiting around as much as I’d like, there’s just not enough time!
Me and the hubby have a special date planned next weekend and got tickets to a wonderful 2-day Jazz Festival in Clearwater, where we’ll stay for a couple of nights and also fit in some beach time. Woooohooo! Now doesn’t that sound like fun…we LOVE jazz! You can expect to see pics of lots of fun things when I get back! Hope y’all have a great week. 
Hi Rhoda, cookies hot out of the oven are the way I like to eat mine (what a pretty tin)!
That’s so nice that you and your husband have something special planned and I know you’ll enjoy your outing with Kim!

Hi Rhoda! Ooooh my those cookies looked yummy! I am down in St. Pete and just spent a day in Clearwater with my folks….check out my blog to see a pretty picture of the beach…you will have a beautiful time! Jazz in Clearwater is the best. Have fun! xoxo ~ Joy

Oh yum Rhoda…these cookies look awesome. The pix was so good that I almost reached through the computer to grab one. 🙂 And girl I love it that you’re old fashioned and that you love to dote on your man (unlike some politicians that you mentioned)…yeah I couldn’t believe she said that…I immediately told Ian, “wow she has just lost a lot of women’s votes with that comment.”
Rhoda,
My kids had a half day today at school. So I made these cookies and they were so yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
