The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know you may have had a lot of chocolate chip cookies in your life, as have I! This recipe in my opinion is probably one of the best I've ever had.


You may or may not be familiar with the infamous chocolate chip cookies that Doubletree Hotels offer. I found this recipe on the web and it's apparently the recipe that they use at Doubletree!






oh, come to mama!


The recipe was fairly easy to make, I chilled it overnight for the best results.





Recipe adapted from foodgeeks.com

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
eggs
3 cups semi-sweet, chocolate chips
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts



Grind oats in a food processor or blender until fine. Combine the ground oats with the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl.

Cream together the butter, sugars, vanilla, and lemon juice in another medium bowl with an electric mixer. Add the eggs and mix until smooth. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture and blend well. Add the chocolate chips and nuts to the dough and mix by hand until ingredients are well blended.

For the best results, chill the dough overnight in the refrigerator before baking the cookies.

Spoon rounded 1/4 cup portions onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Place the scoops about 2 inches apart. Bake in a 350°F oven for 16-18 minutes or until cookies are light brown and soft in the middle. Store in a sealed container when cool to keep soft.



Note: I actually only used 2 cups of chocolate chips because I thought that was already plenty. Feel free to use 3 cups if you are a chocoholic!
