- ¼ tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Add the eggs, vanilla extract and lemon juice; mix on low speed for 30 seconds.
Eggs, vanilla, lemon and the dry ingredients
- 270 g all purpose flour
On low speed add the flour while the mixer runs, then the baking soda, salt and a pinch of cinnamon; mix about 45 seconds and do not over mix.
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- cinnamon
- ½ cup rolled oats
Add the rolled oats and mix about 10 seconds.
- 1¾ cup chopped walnuts
Set aside some dough for anyone who does not want walnuts, then mix the chopped walnuts into the rest, using judgement on how much goes in.
Scoop around three tablespoons of dough per cookie, all roughly the same size, onto a baking sheet lined with a baking mat, spaced two inches apart.
Scooping and freezing the dough
If the dough is soft and likely to spread, freeze the dough balls about an hour to firm them up; frozen unbaked cookies go straight into the oven with no need to thaw.
Bake at 300F for 20 to 23 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centre is still soft.
