Posted by Hope Early: There are times when I want all the cookies. I want the chocolate chip cookie, I want the oatmeal cookie, I want the chocolate walnut cookie. But eating three cookies-okay, I'd probably eat way more than just one of each-would be a little much and require me to up my daily running miles. So, what's a cookie lover to do? Well, if she's a food blogger, she figures out a way to have her cookies and eat them too. I give you my amazing Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. There's a lot in this cookie, and be forewarned: I advise using a heavy-duty stand mixer because there's a lot of dough. You'll get a lot of cookies, depending on how big you make your cookie mounds when you're shaping the dough. I typically freeze half the dough unless I'm baking these cookies for an event.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).
In stand mixer bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light in color and texture, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together, careful not to overbeat.
Add oats to mixture and combine.
Then add in chocolate chips and nuts to mixture.
Form dough into golf-ball-size mounds. Place two inches apart on silicone (or parchment paper) lined baking sheets. Bake for 6 to 9 minutes, until tops are just golden and cookies are still soft.
Cool on wire baking racks.
