• 1 c. whole wheat flour
• 3/4 c. rolled oats
• 1/2 t. cardamom
• 1/2 t. baking soda
• 1/2 t. fine sea salt
• 1/2. c. unsalted butter, softened

• 1 large farm fresh egg
• 1 c. chocolate chips
• 3/4 c. chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat  oven to 350 F degrees.
2. Place the oats in a  food processor and pulse until ground.  Place in a medium mixing bow, add flour, cardamom,  baking soda and salt.  Whisk to combine.  Set aside.
3. In a stand mixer, beat beat butter until fluffy.
4. Add white sugar and brown sugar.   Beat until creamy.  Add egg; beat until smooth.
5. Add in chocolate chips and nuts and beat until just incorporated.
6. Using a cookie scoop, drop onto a silicon lined baking sheet.  (May also line with parchment paper.)
7. Bake until firm around the edges and golden on top (about 12-15 minutes).
8. Cool cookies for 2 minutes on sheet then remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Of course, the “bakeshop’s” cookies were a bit lovelier and bakery looking.  I love that they are using a brewing by product with the spent spelt.
