Notes

*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g  to the measurement for each cup of flour.
Substitutions:
  • Pecans can be used instead of walnuts.
  • If you don't have apple pie spice, cinnamon can be used instead!
Expert Tips:
  • Do not use instant oatmeal for this recipe.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are room temperature!
  • Be careful to not over-mix your cookie dough.
  • We used a 3 Tablespoon cookie scoop to make this recipe. If you use less/a smaller cookie scoop, the bake time will need to be adjusted.
  • These cookies need to be tapped down slightly before baking.
  • Once these cookies start to turn to a slight golden color, that means they're done!
