Cookie Shop Chocolate Chip Cookie

Makes 3 dozen 3"cookies

This cookie has a slightly coarser texture and nuttier flavor than a Toll House cookie recipe. Make them nice and big so you only need one.

ingredients

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the oats and 1/2 cup chocolate chips and process until finely ground. Stir the oat mixture into the flour mixture and set aside.
3
In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugars and vanilla at medium speed until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. At low speed, add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts.
4
Measure out rounded mounds (about 2 tablespoons) of the dough and, using wet hands, roll each portion into a ball. Arrange the balls 3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
5
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes just until golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
