Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • 2 ¼ cups (279g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs

Add-ins

  • 3 cups (510g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Grind oats and mix dry ingredients: Place oats in a small food processor or blender and grind until powdery. Transfer to a medium bowl and whisk together with the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Combine wet ingredients and sugars: Stir melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Incorporate vanilla extract, lemon juice, and eggs, mixing on low speed or by hand until fully combined.
  3. Mix dough and add chocolate chips and walnuts: Gradually add the dry oat and flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. The dough may appear slightly lumpy due to ground oats. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly.
  4. Chill the dough: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Portion dough into ¼ cup scoops and place on the sheet without spacing. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to develop flavor and improve texture.
  5. Preheat oven and prepare for baking: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Arrange chilled dough balls spaced well apart. Slightly press down each dough ball with your palm to flatten.
  6. Bake the cookies: Bake for 13-17 minutes until edges turn light golden brown and centers are no longer glossy. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft and chewy texture.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential for flavor development and to prevent cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • Slightly underbaked cookies yield the best chewy texture.
  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts if preferred for texture or allergy reasons.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
