Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt (without if you use salted butter)
- 3 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assessment: Good, but mostly because I used Ghiradelli chips, these specifically:
The extra darkness of the chocolate made them pretty awesome.
Fixes: Maybe a little bit more flour and/or baking soda, the cookies flattened a lot when they came out of the oven.
Future Deliciousness: I added craisins to a few of these - good, but didn't necessarily make them better.
