Yield 10 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  • 3 sticks (12 oz / 340 g) butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 box (16 oz / 450 g) brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 cups rolled oats
  • Add more chocolate chips (or other small candy) if desired.
  • Substitute other "filler" (wheat germ, flaxseed, nuts, seeds, etc.) for some of the oatmeal.
  • Whatever you do to adjust the chocolate chips and oatmeal, make sure the resulting dough is very stiff—this helps make the cookies chewy.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cream butter and both kinds of sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. 2
    Combine the water, eggs, and vanilla in a separate container.
  3. 3
    Gradually beat the egg mixture into the butter mixture until smooth.
  4. 4
    Combine the flour and baking soda, then sift this mixture into the butter mixture. Mix to form a dough.
  5. 5
    Use a sturdy mixing spoon to stir in the chocolate chips and 6 cups of the oats.
  6. 6
    Stir in additional oats until the dough is stiff and almost crumbly.
  7. 7
    If desired, chill dough until ready to bake.
  8. 8
    Scoop teaspoon-sized balls of dough and place on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
  9. 9
    Bake in a preheated 350°F (175C) oven for about 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the cookies comes out clean.
