3 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking oats)

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened

11/2 cups Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Fair Trade Light Brown Sugar, packed

2 large cage-free organic eggs

2 teaspoons organic vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

10 oz miniature chocolate chips

Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Put 2 cups of the oatmeal in a food processor and process it until finely ground and floury.

In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until soft and smooth. Mix in the brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended. In another bowl, stir together both the ground and the whole oatmeal, baking soda and salt. With the mixer running at low speed, add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until blended. Add the chocolate chips and mix just until blended.
