Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (225g) rolled oats (Old Fashioned)
- 1 3/4 cups (248g) all-purpose flour*
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened but still slightly firm
- 1 cup (215g) dark brown sugar
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (4 oz.) milk chocolate bar, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (170g) chopped walnuts (optional, I don’t add these)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add oats to a food processor. Process oats until they are very finely ground, nearly to a flour, about 2 - 3 minutes.
- Add ground oats to a large mixing bowl along with flour baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk 20 seconds. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Mix in eggs one at a time then blend in vanilla. With mixer set on low speed slowly add in dry ingredients and mix just until nearly combined.
- Add in chocolate chips, chopped chocolate and walnuts if using and mix (you can set a few chocolate chips aside first if you want some to press into tops of dough for looks).
- Scoop dough out 2 oz. at a time (nearly 1/4 cup) and shape into rounds (at higher altitude I recommend making taller dough balls, so more of an oval shape, for less spread).
- Transfer 9 dough balls to an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet lined with a silicone liner or parchment paper, spacing them about 3-inches apart (refrigerate dough that’s not currently baking).
- Bake in preheated oven until nearly set but slightly under-baked, about 10 minutes.
- Let cool several minutes on baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat process with remaining dough. Store cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
- Scoop into measuring cup and level top to measure flour.
- Walnuts not included in nutritional info.
