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