I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Neimann-Marcus Cookies

5 cups oatmeal
2 cups butter
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. soda
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 (8 oz.) Hershey bar (grated)
3 cups chopped nuts

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 one inch balls and place two inches apart on cookie sheet.  Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.   Makes 11 dozen cookies.

This is a recipe our friend (and Michael's girlfriend) Rosalie Carlin got from the Internet with an interesting story .  They taste wonderful.  Ask her, maybe she'll tell you the story, too.
