Dark Chocolate & Walnut Oatmeal Cookies

January 23, 2019 by Judy Leave a Comment

A chewy, wholesome oatmeal cookie with dark chocolate & walnuts 

Oatmeal Dark Chocolate walnut Cookie Recipe

Baking during the cold winter season has me craving wholesome, easy cookie recipes that warm not only my kitchen but also my soul. I often turn to treasured cookie recipes that I baked growing up in our Pennsylvania farmhouse. I like mixing buttery cookie doughs with ingredients that I can easily find in my pantry. Dependable cookie recipes that I can bake over and over again without fail, delicious cookies that evoke a comfort-food emotion. Chocolate Chip Cookies, roll-out sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies have all of these criteria. 

For this oatmeal cookie recipe today, I began with a favorite recipe that I’ve baked for many years, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. For this chocolate version, I tweaked a few ingredients including using all brown sugar and replacing the raisins with dark chocolate chips. I added a bit of molasses to add moisture that was lost from the removing the raisins, and kept the cinnamon. Because cinnamon and chocolate compliment each other so well, I think, to add more warmth to the cookie. Enjoy these chewy oatmeal cookies with a cup of hot chocolate or mug of coffee and improve your wintery, cold day!

Author: Country Cupboard Cookies
Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 15
Ingredients
  • 4 ounces butter (1/2 cup or 1 stick)
  • 7½ ounces light brown sugar (1 cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon unsulphured molasses (I use Grandma's molasses)
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
  • 4½ ounces all-purpose flour (1 cup), I always use unbleached
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 3½ ounces rolled oats (1 cup) I use Quaker Oats, old-fashioned (not quick oats)
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate chips (1 cup)
  • 2 ounces chunky walnut pieces (1/2 cup)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cream room temperature butter and brown sugar together until well blended.
  3. Add molasses and blend.
  4. Add egg and vanilla and mix into batter.
  5. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and mix until incorporated into batter.
  6. Stir in Oats just until blended.
  7. Add Chocolate and Walnuts.
  8. Using 2 TBL for each cookie or a small ice cream scoop, place cookies on a silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet.
  9. Bake 11 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees.
  10. Allow to finish baking and cool on cookie sheet.
Notes
I love the combination of dark chocolate and walnuts in this oatmeal recipe. I used dark chocolate chips from Nestle. A combination of semi-sweet and dark would be delicious also.

I like chunky, large walnuts in my chewy cookies, so I buy walnut halves and and cut into chunky pieces.
