Chock-full of chocolate chips and sprinkles, these chewy treats never last long no matter where you take them. They’re simply outstanding.

Ingredients: (Yield: about 9 dozen)

• 2 cups butter, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 5 cups old-fashioned oats
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 cups chopped walnuts
• 2 cups chocolate sprinkles

Method:

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

Place the oats in a blender; cover and process until finely ground. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips, walnuts and sprinkles.

Roll into 1½-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a glass. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
