CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
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.
