INGREDIENTS

½ cup rolled oats (quick or regular)

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp lemon juice (activates the soda for a softer cookie)

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp cinnamon

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

¾ cup brown sugar, firmly packed

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (you can use raisins instead, but why?)

1 ½ cups chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350F. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper for best results.

Process oats in a blender or food processor until fine. Combine oats, flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.

In another bowl cream butter, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice with a mixer. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.

Stir dry mixture into wet mixture - blend well. Add chips and nuts, mix well. Use ice-cream scoop for uniform cookies - leave them in balls about 2 ½ inches apart. Bake until lightly brown, 15-18 minutes. Enjoy!
