If you're an aficionado of those big, soft chocolate chip cookies you find at the mall, or being sold from a kiosk at the airline terminal, give these a try. Loaded with chocolate and nuts, with the mild, nutty flavor of oatmeal, these cookies are also similar to those sold in fancy department stores. King Arthur Flour. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups rolled oats, finely ground |
8 ounces semisweet chocolate (or bittersweet or milk) |
1 cup unsalted butter |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 large eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 tablespoon espresso powder |
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped (or pecans) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Grind the oats and 8 ounces of chocolate together in a food processor. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, espresso powder and the reserved oat/chocolate mixture. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
6. Use a tablespoon cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between then so they can spread.
7. Bake for 12 minutes; don't overbake, or they'll be hard.
8. Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool.
