Cooking time: 10-12 minutes per batch
You Will Need
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans (about 2 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 ounces (1 stick) butter, softened
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 1/2 ounces (2 1/2 squares) semisweet chocolate, chopped
What to Do
1. Mix together oats, flour, nuts, and baking powder.
2. In a saucepan, heat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter has melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Stir half of oat mixture into butter mixture. Stir in egg, mixing well, then stir in remaining oat mixture. Cool for 20 minutes. Stir in chocolate.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place balls, 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly.
5. Bake cookies until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Cook's Tip: This cookie dough lends itself to endless variations. Add raisins, chopped dates, dried apricots, or a bit of grated orange peel. Omit nuts, or prepare them plain without chocolate.
Yield: 3 1/2 dozen cookies
