Doubletree Hotel


Recipe Introduction

Elle and I stayed in Chicago for an AS3 meet in November of 2006. When we checked into the hotel, these WARM cookies were given to us. Oh YUM! These are at the top of my CCC list!

List of Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour (9.5 oz)
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (6 oz)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (5.25 oz)
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
2 eggs
3 cups semi-sweet, chocolate chips (18 oz)
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts (I usually omit or opt for a different nut)(6.75 oz)


Recipe

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.
