1/2 cup rolled oats
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 large eggs
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Process rolled oats in a food processer or blender until finly ground.
  • Combine ground oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.

  • Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, blending well.
  • Add the chocolate chips and nuts to the dough and mix well.
