Am posting the recipe for the cookies we enjoyed at this rally, which we collectively decided could be baked a few at a time in a Dutch Oven---or pressed together in the Dutch Oven and baked to make one large cookie. Yum!
Mrs. Field's Cookies:
2 cups butter, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups brown sugar, creamed well
4 eggs, 2 tablespoons vanilla, added to above and mixed well
4 cups flour, 5 cups oatmeal
1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda
mix dry ingredients together, add to creamed mixture and blend thoroughly
24 ounces (2 bags) chocolate chips, 3 cups chopped nuts
blend together well, let mixture stand 15 minutes before baking
Use ice cream scoop to scoop out onto large cookie sheet, placing carefully as they will spread. Bake @ 375 degrees 12-15 minutes, til cookies are browning but still soft. Cool on racks.
This makes a huge recipe, great for taking to work or potlucks, or for freezing to be baked as needed.
To freeze: we refrigerate the dough overnight, then scoop onto waxed-paper lined cookie sheets, cover with more waxed paper, freeze til firm and then place into freezer bags. They will remain loose-packed in your freezer and you can pull out just what you need. Let set on cookie sheet while oven preheats, may still need another minute or two.
