Ingredients

• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup butter, soft
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 eggs
• 3 cups chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Process oatmeal in a blender or food processor until finely ground. We typically do about 5-10 of these at once, putting them in baggies so we don’t have to do them every time we bake!

2. Combine oatmeal, flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon.

3. In another bowl cream butter, sugars, vanilla, and lemon juice. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.

4. Combine flour and egg mixtures. Add chocolate chips and nuts. Mix well.

5. Using 1/4 cup of dough for each cookie, place on ungreased sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes (I usually only bake them 12-14 minutes at 325 degrees.)
