Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies
Description
Thick and chewy chocolate chip walnut cookies. Super soft, old-fashioned taste, and made with healthy ingredients!
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- ½ cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder (optional but delicious)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts
Directions
- In a blender or food processor, grind oats until fine. Transfer to a small bowl, then stir together with the whole wheat flour. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, espresso powder, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Beat in the baking soda, vinegar, and egg.
- By hand, stir in the flour mixture, then the chocolate chips and walnuts, just until combined. For the best results, cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
- Place rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the cookie sheets, then bake for 9 minutes, until the bottoms of the cookies are barely beginning to brown. The cookies may appear underdone.
- Remove cookies from oven, let cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
