Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pinch* ground cinnamon
  • 1 3/4 cups chopped walnuts** 
  • 2 2/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips***

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
    Cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed fitted with the paddle (or flat beater) attachment for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, vanilla and lemon juice, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then turn up to medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl with a rubber spatula.
    With mixer on low speed, add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, blending for about 45 seconds. Don’t overmix.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Alternatively, let the stand mixer mix everything for you.
    Portion cookie dough with a scoop (about 3 tablespoons) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies for about 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
  • Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour. . . if you can wait that long! Enjoy!
  • Baker's Note:
    You can freeze the remaining cookie dough balls, and there’s no need to thaw. Preheat oven to 300°F and place frozen cookies on parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 27 to 30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.

Notes

*If you want to get very technical and scientific, a pinch is generally defined as 1/16 teaspoon. While there's some debate about this, The New Food Lover's Companion considers a pinch to be 1/16 tsp, while a dash is “somewhere between 1/16 and a scant 1/8 teaspoon.”
**I only used 1 cup and used chopped pecans 
***I only added about 2 cups and used a blend of bittersweet, semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips
