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 granulated 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:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with both brown and granulated sugars until fully incorporated. Add the eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to over-mix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
- Chill the Dough: Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Prepare for Baking: Once chilled, remove the cookie dough from the fridge and gently flatten each cookie with your palm.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Ensure cookies are spaced at least 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
