This recipe is based on one from the Joy of Cooking. I increased the amount of chocolate chips by 50% because one cup of chocolate chips seemed a little austere and we like to assume that we've won the war here on Joseph's cooking blog. My cookies took a lot longer to cook than the recipe indicated-- about 20 minutes-- and I'm not sure if that was because of my terrible oven or that I made them a lot larger than the recipe said I should. Feel free to make these pretty big. They don't spread as much as regular chocolate chip cookies do because of the oatmeal.
Heat oven 350
Whisk in a bowl:
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
Cream together:
2 sticks butter (1 cup)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Add:
2 eggs
2 1/2 tsp vanilla
Slowly add:
3 1/2 cups oats
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 - 1 cup walnuts
Place in golf ball sized amounts on a lined cookie sheet and bake 12-14 minutes or much more. They're done when they start to firm up in the center. Remove to drying rack when cool. Makes 4 dozen.
bon appetit!
