InstructionsInstructionsInstructions

1

In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for approximately 2 minutes until well combined.

2

Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing on low for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Remember to scrape down the bowl as needed.

3

With the mixer on low speed, gradually incorporate the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, blending for roughly 45 seconds. Be careful not to overmix.

4

Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts by hand until evenly distributed.

5

Using a scoop, portion the dough (approximately 3 tablespoons each) onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

6

Preheat your oven to 300°F. Bake the cookies for 20-23 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers remain soft.

7

Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 1 hour before serving.

8

For make-ahead convenience, the portioned cookie dough can be frozen. When ready to bake, there's no need to thaw - simply place the frozen dough on parchment-lined sheets and bake at 300°F until properly browned.
