The first time I saw a version of this story was about ten years again. It came with the GNU Emacs software bundle from Free Software Foundataion. I just checked, it is still included in their current source distribution. It seems the recipe remains unchanged! -------------------------------------------------------- [Someone sent this in from California, and we decided to extend our campaign against information hoarding to recipes as well as software. (Recipes are the closest thing, not involving computers, to software.) The story appears to be a myth, according to the Chicago Tribune, which says that Mrs Fields Cookies hoards the information completely. Therefore, this recipe can be thought of as a compatible replacement. We have reports that the cookies it makes are pretty good.] Someone at PG&E called the Mrs. Fields Cookie office and requested the recipe for her cookies. They asked her for her charge card number, and she gave it to them thinking the cost would be $15 to $25. It turned out to be $200! Therefore, this person is giving the recipe to anyone and everyone she knows (and doesn't know) so that someone can get use of her $200. Anyway, just keep passing it on. Cream together: 2 cups butter 2 cups sugar 2 cups brown sugar Add: 4 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla Mis together in separate bowl: 4 cups flour 5 cups oatmeal (put small amounts of oatmeal in blender until it turns to powder. Measure out 5 cups of oatmeal and only "powderize" that, NOT 5 cups "powderized" oatmeal) 1 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda Mix: All of the above Add: 24 oz. bag of chocolate chips and 1 finely grated 8 oz Hershey bar (plain) Add: 3 cups chopped nuts (any kind) Bake on greased cookie sheet (make golf ball sized balls) and bake about two inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Makes 112.
