INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned or rolled oats, ground into flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
PREPARATION
- In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, oat flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, whisking everything together until combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter together with both brown and granulated sugar until fully incorporated, then mix in eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Once smooth, stir in dry ingredients, being careful not to over-mix, then fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Scoop 2-3 tablespoons cookie dough onto 2, parchment-lined baking sheets and chill for at least 1-2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Remove from fridge, gently flatten cookies with your palm.
- Preheat oven to 350º F and space cookies out on baking sheet so they’re at least 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Place baking sheets in oven and bake for 13-15 minutes (if on the smaller side; 10-12 minutes if smaller), or until golden. They should still be soft in the centers.
- Remove from oven and let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
