One day while making chocolate chip cookies, I ran out of every single type of flour in the house. And by accident, they came out ridiculously awesome.
¾ cup white flour
1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour
2 to 2 ½ cups oatmeal
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 package chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans, or whatever nut strikes your fancy
Coconut, if you please
Put the oatmeal into a food processor and grind until you have a very course flour. Combine it with the other two flours, baking soda and salt. In a different bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until fluffy. Sprinkle in small amounts of the dry ingredients. The dough will be dry, add milk if it gets unworkable. (i.e. you think the mixer may break). Add chocolate chips, nuts and coconut. I usually use ¾ package chocolate chips, but use more or less depending on your preferences. Bake at 375° for 9 to 11 minutes.
