Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chip

This is a great cookie if you want a little bit of everything. Between the oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips there are enough flavors and textures to satisfy whatever you are craving. Perhaps that's why I ate five of them while I was cleaning up my kitchen! This recipe comes together very quickly, too. No single flavor dominates, so add more chocolate, walnuts, or oats depending on your preferences. In its current form, the recipe produces a cakier oatmeal cookie with hints of chocolate and crunchy walnuts.
