There are several versions of this wonderful recipe floating around. This is my particular take on it, posted here for safekeeping. I will give the "standard" ingredients first and will then give the alternate (healthier) ingredients that I personally use. I am guesstimating the number of cookies this yields. I am updating this recipe on 12/22/12 to make a gluten-free version that I tried out and liked. The two changes are using brown rice flour instead of regular flour and doubling the amount of egg (brown rice flour tends to produce a crumbly product but extra egg offsets this).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a larger mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla well.
- Pulverize the oatmeal in a blender a little at a time.
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
- With your fingers, place golf-ball-sized dough portions, 2" inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 8-9 minutes or until edges are light brown.
- My "healthier" substitutions:.
- For the 2 cups of flour, I use 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry or organic oat flour PLUS 1/2 cup soy flour.
- For the sugar, I substitute fructose.
