Yes they are big, yes they are fattening (I don't like to have to shake the sheets to find my man anyway)  and yes they are delicious!    Enjoy!

Buffalo ChipsA Texas Treasure

1 pound of butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups crushed corn flakes
1  12 oz. package chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)
2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (I use walnuts)
2 cups quick oatmeal, uncooked
Melt butter and cook to lukewarm.   Add the sugars and mix well.   
Add remaining ingredients in order listed, stirring after each addition (this is the secret to the recipe)
Use an ice cream scoop to measure amount of cookie dough for each cookie (I usually fill the scoop half full for a manageable cookie).   Place 6 scoops only on 1  ungreased cookie sheet.    Bake at 350 for 13 - 15 minutes. 
These cookies take a little bit of time to cook, being able to only cook 6 at a time, but they are well worth the wait and a hit regardless of whether you are serving them at home or for a social function.   And yes..... everything IS bigger in Texas ;)
