  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Baking sheets
  • Wire Rack
  • Spatula or Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare ungreased baking sheets.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the oats, chopped walnuts, and chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can substitute old-fashioned oats for a chewier texture. To avoid flat cookies, chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking. Skip the nuts if you need a school-friendly version.
