Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies

After trying the doubletree cookies from my coworker I insisted on finding a recipe online, they make the best cookies! So I decided to look for a recipe online and I found this recipe that they claimed to be "double tree cookies" so i decided to give it a try. I love these cookies! they came out pretty good, even when I tried this recipe for the first time. Although the shape didn't look the same (probably because i didn't chill the do (The only think i changed was using bitter sweet chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet) it was really good. I think for my personal taste, i would put less chocolate chips next time.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
2 eggs
3 cups semi-sweet, chocolate chips
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Directions:
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.
