- Grind oats in a blender or food processor until part of the oats look like a coarse flour. Mix ground oatmeal with flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix sugars, eggs, butter and vanilla. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture; blend well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Take out of the oven just before they are done and let them set 3 minutes on the pan before removing to a wire rack.
