Homemade Cookies from Your Freezer to Your Oven!
If you have heard of Nieman Marcus cookies this is a Nieman Marcus copy cat cookie recipe that I have had for years. I love to make these cookies. They become an addiction to anyone that makes them. This recipe makes 10 dozen!!! I am never in the mood for cooking 10 dozen cookies all in one afternoon. Plus I like to eat my cookie hot and fresh from the oven. So I always make up 1-2 dozen and freeze the rest of the cookie dough.

Ingredients
- 5 cups blended oatmeal (measure after they are blended)
- 2 cups butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 4 cups flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 24 oz. chocolate chips
- 1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (coursly cut up) sometimes I use milk, butterscotch or white chips, I have also used other candy bars and M&M’s
- 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice) I love ALMONDS
Instructions
Measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.
Preparing For the Freezer: Lay your cookie dough out like a tube about 3 inches in diameter across a sheet of aluminum foil. I make these tubes about 12 inches long. I do not want them too long to fit in my freezer.
Prepare after Freezing: Simply slice frozen cookie dough in 1/2 inch slices on place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

I like to mix my cookies in my Bosch, but a KitchenAid works really well too.
I love to bake my cookies on my silpat or my silicone baking mats. (You can get two of these for the price of one silpat.) It helps them bake evenly and turn out extra fab! I always bake 1-2 dozen cookies after making the dough and freeze the rest of the dough for later.

I usually form about 3 tubes of cookie dough for the freezer if I have cooked a few dozen cookies already.
Prepare after Freezing: Simply slice frozen cookie dough in 1/2 inch slices on place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.
If you want your cookies to turn out perfectly round you just have to take more care forming your tube into a perfect circle before freezing. My family does not care if the cookies have an occasional flat end.

It all began on October 8th, 2008. Cathy and Monica started this coupon blog to help friends and family learn about their new money saving hobby couponing! Since then they have taught thousands of women (and men) 
While I would never turn down any kind of chocolate chip cookie, I prefer to form my dough into balls, lay them all on a cookie sheet, put them in the freezer until they are firm (flash freeze), and then toss them into a ziplock bag, and re-freeze them. That way, when you bake them, they are still a pretty shape, and the choc. chips, don’t get cut into funny shapes. And they can lay flat in your freezer!
That is a great idea. I like to do it this way because it saves so much time and it is super easy. Thank you for sharing your idea.
What does it mean when it says “blended oatmeal”? Can I just throw in my regular Quaker?
You can use regular quaker you just want to blend it in your blender and then measure it. Does that help?
OK:) I thought there was some special fancy blend of different kinds of oatmeal I needed!
Nope nothing fancy.
I like to keep it simple.
