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. 
What a great week you have ahead of you! Can’t wait to hear all about it. Enjoy! 🙂 Rosie
Oh yay! I enjoy hearing about your trips to FL. I grew up in Orlando and get down there every chance I get. Have a wonderful week!
I love recipes…this one looks amazing…thank you. Hope the week ahead is fantastic!

The cookies look scrump-deli-icious, Rhoda.
It’s so good to hear you are “standing by your man AND making cookies for him, too”!LOL I’ll never forget that interview!
Have fun in Florida!

You had me drooling just by your first cookie picture. Then when I saw they had pecans in them, I rushed out the door. I’ll be knocking at your door for my cookie any minute now. And, I love that tin.
Have a wonderful time. I love Clearwater. When I was very young, my mother would pack a picnic lunch in the car. And, we would head to Clearwater Beach after Sunday church service every week.
I won’t be voting for her, either.
Hmmm I’m with you Roh I know who I won’t be voting for either….I like me some putty in my hands…LOL
Those cookies look fabulous that is very much my recipe but I like the idea of oatmeal, yum
Lots of yardwork yesterday at the Casa, we had a bonus day it was supposed to rain but the sun came out and it was a 10 for 4 hours or so then the thunderstorms struck. We got the pansies in the ground and they look so pretty..
Say hello to Kim, we love Jazz too…The Charles Hotel’s Regatta Bar has some really good music, we get there every so often.
Have a nice week,
Kathy 🙂
ps thanks for all the nice posts !!!
Wishing you a wonderful week, these cookies looks so good, and I’m lovin the blue in your bathroom.

Have fun Fla. Rhoda. Those cookies look so good. I wish I had one right now. LOL Have a good week.
How yummy they look. Mrs. Fields cookies are soooo yummmmy.
I’ll have to try these now. They may replace the standard chocolate chip.
Have a great trip to sunny Fl.

Hi Rhoda – I’ve had that exact recipe for years too, and I love the oatmeal part. SO YUMMY. Save some for me! 🙂
I will most definitely try this cookie recipe. They look delicious. Thanks for sharing it.

You’re a great wife making those cookies for hubby. I know EXACTLY which candidate you are referring to and I won’t be voting for her either 🙂 ! We can be intelligent, society contributing wives and still bake cookies!!!
I have this recipe as well. It’s also named “Marshall Field’s Cookies.” They are excellent.
Have a blessed time in Clearwater with hubby (watch out for those Scientologist – that’s the city of their main hub!!) Enjoy your time with Kim too.
Blessings,
Sher
Oh my my! My mouth is watering. Wish I had one of those cookies right now. Thanks for the recipe.
Have fun. Can’t wait to hear all about your adventures.
Happy Sunday
Hugs!

Thanks so much!
Ack! Pleeeease no politics! I like this blog too much! Some of us take care of our husbands AND will vote for the person y’all are hating on!
Oh my Rhoda, Those honestly look Delicous. My Hubby would be putty in my hand also if I presented him with those. Have a Terrific time on your weekend getaway next weekend. Jamie
Oooo, sound like some fun in Fla! Have a great time!
Those cookies look so yummy!
