• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
• Cream butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla until very smooth and fluffy.
• In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a food processor, blend oatmeal until fine. Add to flour mixture.

• Add chocolate chips and walnuts. Stir until blended. Roll into golf balls size and bake for 8-10 minutes. You do not want to over bake these.

Mrs Fields cookies are best made with 100% butter. This would not be the place to skimp as butter is an important element.
