I got this recipe emailed to me a few years ago. Apparently it's from some fancy shop in the USA called Neiman Marcus. The lady bought a cookie in their cafe & asked for the recipe, they said, sure, it's two-fifty. She didn't check her receipt (silly) but got a shock when her credit card bill came, they charged $250. She tried to get a refund but they refused. So, she said, since she'd essentially bought the recipe, she'd do as she wanted with it.
You can split the recipe to make a smaller batch - it does make quite a lot. They are totally yummy.
2 (500 ml) cups butter
24 oz. (680 g) chocolate chips
4 (1000 ml) cups flour
2 (500 ml) cups brown sugar
2 tsp. (10 ml) (Bicarb) soda
1 tsp. (5 ml) salt
2 (500 ml) cups sugar

Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder.
