These are the cookies my mom bakes every week for a treat for our patients at our office! They are Fantastic!
Gaskell Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat oven 350 degrees
Mix together the following dry ingredients:
2 ¼ cups flour
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
½ cup old fashion oatmeal
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Allspice
½ tsp. Nutmeg
½ tsp. Cloves
Mix together the following in separate bowl:
1 cup butter
2 eggs (extra large)
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
Blend the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Dough will be rather thick.
Mix in the following:
3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Make any size cookies you wish. I have found that a ball or dough (3 tablespoons) baked for 13 minutes at 350 is nice. Most importantly, to make a cookie that is soft in the middle, take the cookies out of the oven as soon as they are barely brown. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes to set before removing them and place on a cooling rack.
