Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. Neufchatel cheese (4 oz)
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 c. ground oatmeal (measure about 4 cups into your blender then grind it to 2 cups)
2 c. flour (can substitute up to half with whole wheat flour, if you believe cookies can be 'healthy')
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
12 oz chocolate chips
1/2 large (5 oz) Hershey bar, frozen
Preheat oven to 375˚. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine oatmeal, flour, salt, soda and powder and mix into creamed mixture. Grind the frozen Hershey bar in the blender until it is a fine consistency. Add chocolate chips and grated Hershey bar into mixture, stirring by hand. Roll into golf ball size balls (or use a medium-sized cookie scoop) and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Gently press on each ball to slightly flatten. Bake at 375˚ for 10-12 minutes.

totally going to make these Ade, they look great!
what the heck is neufchatel cheese?
Ooh, they look so yum! Thanks for this recipe!
Elizabeth...neufchatel cheese is just like cream cheese, and it sold right next to it in the dairy case. You can use cream cheese, too, if you like, but neufchatel has less fat. If you don't have either one, you can also just use more butter.
Ade, I have been missing your writing -- and I've been missing you. Thanks for posting something. You always inspire me. Even in how you can eat cookies and stay so skinny!
MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm!
We made them, we ate them, we love them. Thanks for posting the recipe.
So glad you liked them, Candice. Have another...you are eating for two!
I will try this. One of my favorite cookie recipes is your Pumpkin Chocolate Chip. You are quite the cook!
