Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

1/2 cup rolled oats

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoon 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

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 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.

 

Cream together the butter, sugars, vanilla and lemon juice in another

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

smooth. 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 the

ingredients are well incorporated.

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

the scoops about 2 inches apart. There is no need to press the dough

flat. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until cookies are light brown and

soft in the middle.

Store in a sealed container when cool to keep soft.

 

Makes 20 cookies.
