Chocolate Chip Cookies- allegedly the Double Tree cookie recipe ;)

Good morning,
Oh, it has been too long since I last blogged, and now I have a bunch of recipes I want to share with you. The first one is this amazing cookie recipe I got about 6 years ago, and have been making it ever since during the Holiday season. I realize this is a bit late to make it into last year's Holiday season, but early to next one, right?

They are delicious, and a great treat to give to family and friends. I never found someone who said no to them :)

Enjoy!

Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp lemon juice
2 eggs
3 cups semi-sweet choc chips
1 1/2 cups walnuts, finely grinded



Directions

Grind oats in a food processor until fine. Combine oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl.

Cream butter, sugars, vanilla and lemon juice in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and mix until smooth. Stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture and blend well. Add chocolate chips and nuts and mix by hand until ingredients are well blended.

Chill the dough overnight for best results- this also gives my husband a chance to eat some of the dough ;)





Using an ice-cream scoop, spoon dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 for 16-18 minutes or until cookies are light brown and soft in the middle. Cool on racks.




Enjoy! More recipes to come this week,
