Chocolate Chip Cookies w/Oatmeal & Walnuts image

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups All purpose flour
3/4 cup Quick Oatmeal
1 1/2 tablespoons Baking Soda
1 1/2 tablespoons Salt
2 sticks Unsalted butter (1 cup)
1 1/2 cups Light Brown Sugar (packed)
1 cup Granulated Sugar
3 Large Eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons Vanilla Extract
2 cups Chopped Walnuts or Pecans
1 bag Milk Chocolate Chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F (365°F for a convection oven).
Whisk together flour, oat meal, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
Beat together butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, to butter mixture, beating with mixer until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture until just blended, stir in walnuts, then stir in the chips.
Chill the dough for about 15 minutes.
Scoop a rounded tablespoon for each cookie, arranging mounds 3 inches apart, on 2 baking non-stick or parchment lined sheets. Slightly flatten each mound. Return remaining dough to the refrigerator while cooking the first batch.
Bake for 6-7 minutes, rotate and bake an additional 6-7 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and rest for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to a rack to cool. Continue making cookies in same manner using cooled baking sheets.
