Okay, so I know this recipe is from my mom, and your mom’s is probably different. Maybe hers were the flat crispy kind of chocolate chip cookie, or the gigantic cake-y ones. But, in my book, these are the quintessentially perfect chocolate chip cookie. They are soft and chewy, the sweet is balanced out by the oats, and the nuttiness is spot on… yuuuuuuum. I honestly hadn’t made these in years, and forgot how crazy good they were. I’ll be making them so much more often now. Thanks, mom!

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cups white flour
- 2 1/2 cups oatmeal
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 12 - 14 oz. chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a couple of cookie sheets.
- 2. In a food processor, pulse the oatmeal and walnuts a few times so they get chopped up and mixed together.
- 3. Cream together the butter and two sugars, add the eggs and vanilla and mix.
- 4. In a separate bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips. Add this to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- 5. Add the chocolate chips.
- 6. Form dough into golf-ball sized balls and press slightly flat as you place them onto the cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
- 7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. They will still look a little soft, but once cooled they'll be a perfect soft cookie consistency!
Notes
- Almonds or other nuts can be subbed for the walnuts -- or left out all together.
