Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Blend the oats in a food processor until they resemble a fine flour.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oat flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
-
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are soft.
-
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
If you prefer, substitute the walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

For a fun variation, add white chocolate chunks or dried fruit.
