Neiman Marcus Cookies

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups rolled oats

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups walnuts

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Blend the oats in a food processor to a fine powder. In a medium bowl whisk together the blended oats with the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside

3. In a stand mixer with the paddle/scraper attachment, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Scrape down the sides and beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. On low speed gradually mix in the flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. With a rubber spatula fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.

4. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop cookies and place onto nonstick baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes. Cookies should be lightly browned and set on the outside but still look a little undone in the middle. They will finish setting while cooling. Let cool 2-3 minutes on baking sheet than transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
