Ingredients
1/2 cup oats
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 large eggs
3 cups chocolate chips (try a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate)
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
Directions
Grind oats in a blender or small food processor until powdery, then in a medium-sized bowl, whisk oats into flour, along with baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Use a spoon to stir melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add vanilla, lemon juice, and eggs, stirring until smooth. Next, stir in flour mixture. Oats will give it a lumpy texture. Lastly, stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll or scoop 1/4-cupfuls of dough into balls and line onto the cookie sheet. This stage is for chilling dough, so no need to space. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours or overnight before baking.
Preheat oven to 350 F, and place cookies 2 inches apart on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Slightly press each ball with palm. Bake cookies 13-17 minutes, taking care to not over-bake, as these are best when a bit under-cooked.
