What you'll need

  • Stand mixer — Hands-free creaming and whipping — the most time-saving machine in a baker's kitchen.
  • Kitchen scale — Baking by weight is more accurate than cups — 1 g = 1 g, always.
  • Silicone baking mat — No parchment waste, uniform browning, nothing sticks.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and honey until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the creamed mixture, beating well to combine.
  5. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and set in the center.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

FAQ

Why use honey instead of refined sugar?

Honey provides a natural sweetness without chemical refining processes and adds beneficial antioxidants.

Can I substitute the butter with another fat?

Using oils or other fats can change the texture; sticking with organic, non-GMO butter ensures traditional flavor and mouthfeel.
