Yield 12-16 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, softened but still firm
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup ground almonds
1 cup walnut pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven racks to low and middle positions; heat oven to 350oF. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Grind the almonds in a mini food processor. In the bowl of food processor or by hand, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time. 2. Mix flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg together. Stir them into butter-sugar mixture with a wooden spoon or large rubber spatula. Stir in oats and nuts. 3. Form the dough into sixteen to twenty 2-inch balls, placing each dough round onto one of two parchment paper-covered, large cookie sheets. Note that the cookies must be 2-inches in order to be tender. Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. (Halfway during baking, turn cookie sheets from front to back and also switch them from top to bottom.) Slide cookies on parchment onto cooling rack. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
