Double Tree Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

1 ½ c. butter, softened

1 ½ c. sugar

¾ c. brown sugar

4 eggs

2 ½ t. vanilla

1 t. lemon juice

3 c. flour

¾ c. old-fashioned oatmeal, uncooked

¾ t. baking soda

1 t. salt

¼ t. cinnamon

3 c. semi sweet chocolate chips-ghiradelli

1 ½ c. chopped walnuts

 

Preheat oven 375 degrees.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper.  Place the butter in a large bowl and cream lightly with an electric mixer.  Add the sugars and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.  Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla and lemon juice and mix well.  In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, oatmeal, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.  Add to the creamed butter mixture and stir well to blend.  Add chocolate chips and walnuts.  Using a ¼ cup measure or a 2 ounce ice cream scoop, drop the batter on the parchment lined pans, leaving 2-3 inches between each cookie.  Bake for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.  Cool on wire racks.
