Ingredients
- ½ cup oats
- 1 ¼ cups Total cereal
- ½ cup whole walnuts
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- ½ cup packed granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour 5.6 oz/160 grams
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon plus an extra pinch of salt
- 5 oz semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate cut into chunks or about ¾ cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In bowl of food processor, process oats until fine. Add cereal and walnuts to processor with ground oatmeal and pulse until cereal is finely crushed and nuts are fairly well chopped.
- Cream butter and both sugars in a mixing bowl using high speed of an electric mixer; add egg and vanilla and beat just until egg is mixed in. Add the baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir well to mix. Scrape sides of bowl and stir in flour mixture and cereal mixture.
- Shape into 1 ½ inch balls, then press the balls lightly so they have slightly flat tops. That is, unless you want rounded tops. Place on cookie sheets, spacing 2 ½ inches apart and bake for 15 minutes or until edges start to brown. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
