Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies *Updated*

This recipe was given to my mom by a close family friend. I’ve tweaked it and changed some ratios on add ins and other things, so enjoy!  Here is the story it came with: "A woman from the American Bar Association called Mrs. Fields Cookies and asked for the recipe. She was told there was a "two-fifty" charge for the recipe. She assumed it was $2.50, and charged it to her Visa. When she received her statement and discovered that it was indeed "two-fifty"; Two HUNDRED and Fifty dollars. In order to get her money's worth she is passing it on to everyone. Make a copy and give it to a friend with a blessing."  Mrs. Fields Cookies Preheat oven to 375 degrees  2 cups Butter, room temperature  2 cups Sugar 2 cups Brown Sugar 4 eggs, room temperature  1 tablespoon of vanilla  3 1/2 cups flour 6 cups ground oatmeal  (put small amounts into a blender and blend until it turns to powder.
