The $250 Neiman Marcus Cookie

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2Blend the rolled oats in a food processor until they form a fine powder.
  3. 3In a bowl, whisk together the blended oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  4. 4In a separate large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy for 3-4 minutes.
  5. 5Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. 6Beat in the vanilla extract.
  7. 7Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  8. 8Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chunks, and chopped walnuts (if using).
  9. 9Roll the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. 10Bake until the edges are set but the center still looks undone, about 10 minutes.
