Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
  • Place the oats in a blender or a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.  Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and pulse a few times to combine.
  • In a the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  • Once combined, add the vanilla a lemon juice and mix to combine. Add the eggs, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix just until combined. Add in both chocolate chips and the walnuts and mix just to combine.
  • Divide the mixture into 24 equal portions and roll into balls. Place on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. (I usually do 8 cookies per cookie sheet.)
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 12-14 minutes. They may still look a tiny bit wet in the center – you don’t want to over-bake the cookies because they will continue to bake as they sit on the baking sheet.
  • Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or a sheet of wax paper to cool.
