Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup butter, soft
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
-
Process oatmeal in a blender or food processor until finely ground. We typically do about 5-10 of these at once, putting them in baggies so we don’t have to do them every time we bake!
-
Combine oatmeal, flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon.
-
In another bowl cream butter, sugars, vanilla, and lemon juice. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
-
Combine flour and egg mixtures. Add chocolate chips and nuts. Mix well.
-
Using 1/4 cup of dough for each cookie, place on ungreased sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes (I usually only bake them 12-14 minutes at 325 degrees.)
