Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
½ cup rolled oats
2 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter (two sticks), softened
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 large eggs
3 cups semi-sweet miniature chocolate chips (you can use regular-sized chocolate chips instead)
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) - I honestly use a little more - adjust to your personal taste!

Directions:
Directions:
1. Pulse oats in a food processor until semi-fine or fine.
2. In a small mixing bowl, add the oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
3. To a medium-sized mixing bowl, add butter, both sugars. Cream together using an electric hand mixer. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice and eggs. Mix until you have a smooth mixture. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bottom of the bowl with a spatula at least once.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Drop in the chocolate chips and walnuts and mix until both are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. Again, be careful not to overmix or they will have a cake-like texture.
5. Using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons or you can use a medium-sized one to make even more cookies), scoop cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet. Freeze or refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2 to 4 hours or overnight even.
6. To bake: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cookie dough portions onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper at least 1 ½ to 2 inches apart. Bake for 13 to 14 minutes or until desired doneness (for smaller cookies, bake for 12 to 13 minutes).
Allow to cool completely on a cooling rack if storing. Store in a sealed container with a slice of sandwich bread to ensure softness of cookies.

Tip: Freezing your cookie dough for later, let’s you have fresh baked cookies anytime you want them!

Personal Notes:
Having made these cookies a bunch of times, my favorite semisweet chocolate chips for this recipe are Ghirardelli miniature ones.
These yummy cookies are a Moritz favorite, for sure!
