Shredded Wheat Chocolate Chip Monster Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease several large sheet pans. Combine shredded wheat cereal and 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a food processor. Blend until finely ground. Cream together butter and both sugars in a large bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and blend until combined. Add the shredded wheat mixture and stir in with a wooden spoon. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pans, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake cookies about 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly browned and centers are cracked. Transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely. Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container.
