Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla, until smooth.
  3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl, then stir into the butter mixture just until combined.
  4. Fold in the oats and walnuts until evenly mixed.
  5. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Toasting the walnuts first adds a much deeper flavor. Spread them on a sheet pan and toast at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes, then cool before mixing into the dough.
