Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Walnut Cookies are delicious with a great texture. Made with semi-sweet chocolate chips, old fashions oats, and crunchy walnuts.
These cookies turn out chewy and tender. The walnuts bring great flavor to the cookies, and I love the crunch that they add.
I love how food brings back good memories. My grandma always added walnuts to her chocolate chip cookies, and they were always one of my favorites. So these cookies are not only something that I love the flavor of, but I love the memories too.
Helpful Tips:
- As always when making most cookies have the ingredients at room temperature.
- The oven should be preheated before placing the cookies in the oven to bake.
- If you don’t have a cookie scoop, a teaspoon/dinner spoon works well for making cookies. When using a teaspoon make sure to have a rounded/heaping teaspoon of dough. It should be about an inch in diameter.
- The number of cookies may vary depending on how big you make them.
- Cool the cookies on a wired rack before placing them in an airtight container.
- The cookies freeze well. Make sure to have them in an airtight container. They can be kept frozen for up to 3 months.
