Method
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the blended oat flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and the grated milk chocolate bar until evenly distributed.
Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underdone and just barely golden; they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Blending the oats is the essential secret to the unique texture of Mrs. Fields cookies—don't skip this step!
Grating a milk chocolate bar into the dough provides tiny bursts of chocolate flavor in every single bite.
For the best results, use a cookie scoop to ensure all cookies are the same size for even baking.
Pull the cookies out of the oven when they still look soft in the center to maintain that iconic chewy texture.
