CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1/2 cup rolled oats

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

2 eggs

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Grind oats in a food processor or blender until fine. Combine the

ground oats with the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a

medium bowl.

3. Cream together the butter, sugars, vanilla, and lemon juice in

another medium bowl with an electric mixer. Add the eggs and mix

until smooth.

4. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture and blend well. Add the

chocolate chips and nuts to the dough and mix by hand until

ingredients are well-incorporated.

5. Spoon rounded 1/4-cup portions onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Place the scoops about 2 inches apart. You don’t need to press the

dough flat. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until cookies are light brown

and soft in the middle. Store in a sealed container when cool to keep

soft.

For the best results, chill the dough overnight in the refrigerator

before baking the cookies.
