Hands down the best choc. chip cookies ever:

Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip cookies

½ cup rolled oats, regular or quick
2¼ cups flour
1½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 large eggs
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (basically a whole bag)
1½ cups chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Place rolled oats in blender or food processor and process until finely ground. Combine ground oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in mixing bowl.
3. In another bowl, cream butter, sugars, vanilla and lemon juice together using an electric mixer. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
4. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, blending well. Add chips and nuts (if desired) to the dough and mix well. Using ¼ cup of dough for each cookie, scoop round balls with an ice cream scoop and place 2½” apart on prepared baking sheets.
5. Bake until cookies are lightly browned, 16-18 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

I make these every once in a while and they never even last a day! I don't really care for walnuts, but I added them one time and it makes them taste even better! If you're worried about tasting the oats too much (if you don't like oatmeal cookies) don't worry because when you finely ground them you don't have that big taste, or if you love oatmeal cookies don't grind them and you will have that good oatmeal cookie taste. I hope you try the recipe and tell me how it goes!
