Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.75 cup Walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the rolled oats evenly on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and aromatic. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool.

Step 3

In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped walnuts for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 8

Fold in the toasted oats and walnuts using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 9

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.

Step 11

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
