Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 pound unsalted butter (softened (2 sticks))
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar ((plus 1 Tablespoon sugar))
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs ((room temperature))
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 2 2/3 cups chocolate chips ((they use Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet))
  • 1 3/4 cups chopped walnuts

Instruction

  • Cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together in a stand mixed at medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice to the butter. Mix on low until just combined, then increase speed to medium and blend for 2 minutes. Scrape down edges of the bowl as needed.
  • Put the mixer speed on low and add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Blend until just barely combined, about 45 seconds. Do not over mix.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts, and stir until just combined.
  • Preheat oven to 300F.
  • Scoop the dough into 3 Tablespoon sized balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet.
  • Bake until the cookie edges are just starting to brown and the center is still soft, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet at least 20 minutes before removing them.
