Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies

• 3/4 cup uncooked regular oats
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 (4-oz.) bittersweet chocolate baking bars, coarsely chopped and divided
• Parchment paper

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0. Bake oats in a 9-inch pie plate 10 to 12 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 30 minutes). Process oats in a blender or food processor 1 minute or until finely ground.
2. Beat butter and sugars at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating just until blended.
3. Stir together flour, next 3 ingredients, and ground oats in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating just until blended after each addition. Fold in 2 1/4 cups chopped chocolate (about 2 bars) just until combined. Cover dough, and chill 8 to 12 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets (about 6 per sheet).
5. Bake at 350u0b0 for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown; press remaining chocolate into cookies. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks; cool completely (about 15 minutes).
