Steps:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, cream cheese, sugar, light brown sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour mixture, beating to combine, then stir in the chocolate chips.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.
Drop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 2 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

SECRET RECIPE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies image

This great little chocolate chip cookie is made with ground rolled oats. What is the secret ingredient?--one I have never seen in a chocolate chip cookie recipe before?--lemon juice. The lemon juice reacts with the baking soda to make a softer, chewier cookie.

Time 26m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
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.
In a second bowl, cream butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice together with electric mixer.
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.
Using about 1/4 cup dough for each cookie, scoop round balls and place 2 1/2-inches apart on to parchment-lined baking sheet--a ice cream scoop works well.
Bake until cookies are lightly browned, 16-18 minutes. (Time will depend on how large you make the cookies--I actually prefer them about 1/8 cup dough per cookie and they cook in about 10 minutes).
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in a zip-top container to keep them soft and chewy.
