Course: Cookies
Cuisine: American
Ingredients
  • 1 C. softened butter
  • 1 C. brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1/2 C. white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 t. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 t. baking soda
  • 2 t. ground cinnamon
  • 1 t. salt
  • 3 C. quick-cooking oats
  • 1 C. chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter, brown sugar and white sugar together in a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each egg is added. Add vanilla. (I used my Kitchen Aid standing mixer with its paddle attachment for this step.)
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Add this dry mixture gradually to the butter/egg mixture. Add oats and walnuts. Mix until just blended.
  4. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto the cookie sheets. Allow two inches between each cookie to allow the cookies to spread while cooking.
  5. Bake at 325 degrees F. for fifteen minutes or until cookies are beginning to turn a light brown and are firming up. Remove from oven and cool on a rack.
