  • In a food processor, grind the oats and chocolate together. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, beat the butter and both sugars until creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt and espresso powder, then add to the butter mixture and stir until blended.
  • Stir in ground oats and chocolate, then stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Notes

For larger cookies (King Arthur calls them "mall size"), measure out ¼ cupfuls of dough and bake for 15 to 18 minutes. The yield should be somewhere around 14 cookies.
