Author Notes
A cookie that eats like breakfast. Crisp, soft and a little thick with oatmeal, chocolate chips and walnuts—they're better if you let them chill before baking, but tastes just as good from bowl to oven. These freeze well too and are great to give as a gift so your host can bake them off whenever they want a few cookies for breakfast....or whenever. —Laurie

Note: This dough freezes really well. Shape into balls and freeze on a sheet pan, then put in a plastic bag in freezer for up to a month or so. When ready to use, no need to defrost. Just pop on a cookie sheet and bake per instructions.
