For Mother’s Day, kids love to “surprise” moms with homemade treats from the heart. Here is an easy cookie recipe for your kids to try out and impress Mom on her special day. Older kids can do it “all by themselves” and little ones can spend precious “mommy time” bonding. If you don’t have kids, don’t worry…its one scrumptious cookie that you just have to try!
Prep Time: 10 mins plus 30 mins chilling time
Bake Time: 13 – 15 mins
Makes: 20-24 cookies
Ingredients:
All-Purpose Flour – 2 cups
Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Salt – 1/4 tsp
Quick Oats (uncooked) – 1 cup
Butter – 2 sticks (1 cup ), softened
Sugar – 1/2 cup
Brown sugar – 3/4 cup
Eggs – 2 large
Vanilla – 1 tsp
Lemon Juice – 1 tsp
Chocolate Chips – 2 cups (approx 12 oz)
Walnuts – 1 cup, chopped

1. In a mixing bowl, combine Flour, Oats, Baking Soda and Salt.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together softened Butter, Sugar and Brown Sugar with a hand mixer (approx 2 minutes).
3. Add one Egg and beat into the mixture.
4. Add second Egg and continue to beat until incorporated.
5. Add Vanilla and Lemon Juice and mix well.
6. Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, a little at a time while mixing.
7. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Walnuts.

9. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
10. Line baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease.

12. Bake 13 – 15 minutes until cookies appear golden brown.
13. Cool cookies on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack and cool completely.
14. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Hi Lalitha,
The problem with baking versus cooking is that baking is a science and the recipe is a formula. Any changes to the recipe (even slight ones) may adversely affect the outcome. Flaxseed powder works great in some instances but the less you have to use, the better because it has a grainy look and feel. There are many things you can substitute for the eggs: applesauce, banana, a mixture of oil, water and baking soda, etc. Unfortunately, it is not an easy substitute and the entire recipe may need to be re-adjusted.
We try to offer many eggless recipes to our viewers who are pure vegetarian. Some recipes work really well with eggs and we show them for the benefit of everyone that can use them. We are always asked “what can we substitute for eggs” but sadly, it is not an easy answer without having to show 2 different recipes.

I have tried a similar recipe with flaxseed meal and came out very well! A tip to keep the cookies soft in dry places like colorado… stick a slice of fresh bread in the container the moistness in the bread keeps the cookies soft and doesnt allow them to harden

hi,
I am still waiting for the reply but you guys never reply. when sombody criticizes you reply very promptly. Every video people have lots of queries and they put up their queries but without any response. There are people who log on to ur site day and night even after knowing that there won’t be any new video and you don’t seem to respect ur viewers. Anuja had asked Abby to be respectful and sensitive but what r u doing? It is understood that u guys are doing a great job and it takes lot of pain, time, patience and money to put up one video but all this is worth at the end of the day for both parties (u and viewers) so pls answer the queries.

Hi Abby,
We’re sorry we missed your earlier question. We try our best to address all questions but unfortunately, we miss some. Anuja responded to a disrespectful comment because it was an effort to stop further non-sense on our website…immediately. Sometimes it is midnight by the time we get a chance to answer viewer questions so hopefully you’ll be patient.
Regarding your question: Oats play an important part in this cookie recipe for their chewy characteristic. You will not get the right texture if you simply add more flour. Also, in baking, if you change one ingredient, you may have to adjust others as well.

Is there any difference between Instant oats and quick oats?? If so which is better to use for baking? And yes among others I am also waiting for eggless cookies because my mom doesn’t eat eggs.
Also, I want to say it’s very good that you guys make videos with kids. It’s a great way to involve kids and seems like they actually had fun doing this, thus maybe I should try cooking with my kids as well.
Happy Mother’s day to both of you ladies.

Hi Ladies,
Great recipe, can’t wait to try it even though it has crazy amount of butter. But than butter makes everything better, even it it’s for a short while. lol.
I love the idea of kids presenting kid friendly recipes. It should be moticator for other parents to get their kids involved in some form of cooking. Please don’t get discouraged by anyone making negative remarks about you or your children. I think it very immature and rude to complement ones’ child(ren) and not complement the other that are also in the video!!! It’s almost like you’re making a negative comment by not saying anything about the other child.
This show wouldn’t be the same if both Hetal and Anuja had the same personality. However the are equally nice and share the responsibility of making every video.
Happy Mother’s Day to both of you and all the moms out there!

hetal Reply:
May 6th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
Hi Shalu,
Some things to consider when buying a food processor:
1. The size – if you have a big family or entertain a lot, try to get one that has a larger capacity.
2. The attachments – many people use a food processor only to chop and don’t need all the fancy blades. If you plan to use it for more than chopping (ex: shredding, kneading dough, etc), look for one with many attachments.
3. The power of the motor – bigger wattage is always better in this case so you are able to handle large loads without having to worry about the motor going out.
4. The price – this is the final consideration as you will see the crazy range of prices.
Once you have one particular model in mind, read online reviews for potential problems.

I am appalled at some of the personal comments here. What a shame! Such a thoughtful episode for Mother’s Day turned into this. Hetal and Anuja you both are doing a great job. Your distinctive personalities are the ones that make this site unique. While I can not take the hurt away, I wish you both a very Happy Mother’s Day!

Hi Purvi,
We have not personally tried any store bought egg substitutes. Many of them will probably work for this recipe, it’s just that we have not tried them to give an accurate account.

Hi Amy,
You would have to use a little more baking powder than soda because the powder contains baking soda plus other ingredients.

Hi ladies, i’m so sorry and shocked by the comments of some people! very strange! I wonder: what do they want to achieve? dear dear Hetal and Anuja, words are too short to say that you both are rolemodels to us! except for you’re cookinginstruction, I enjoy the qualities that you show us in ur video’s. smart, honest, clear, respectful and a lot of love for cooking, eating, family and more.
dear Hetal and dear Anuja and to all the mothers over the world: happy mothersday

Honestly, we have not tried using wheat flour in this recipe. It will probably work but the texture and taste may be slightly different. Maybe you can try a half batch to experiment.

Hi MCathy,
Sometimes, you can get a bitter taste if the flour is not fresh. Also, walnuts become rancid over time and can cause bitterness.

Hi Hetal and Anuja
Ur kids are very cute… Nice video..Today i tried choco chip walnut cookie.. I made it using cookie sheet tray with wax paper…But more smoke came..Wat is the reason behind it.? I used conventional oven for 375 F for 12 mins…Is wax paper the reason?? I used it again one more time… I made cookie using pizza pan…and it flattens…Its 1st time for me to make it… I tried one more time using cookie sheet with greased butter and placed cookies. It baked less than 8 mins.. it came out good but still it is soft… After that cooled..Outer crust its crispy and inner its soft.. Plz hel pme.. I ll b v highly grateful in thanking u for telling me how to do again step by step for my issues..

Hi Archana,
The mistake was the wax paper. You have to use parchment paper. Wax paper can be used for baking if you line the bottom of a pan and then cover it completely with something like cake batter. If wax paper is exposed in the oven, the wax will start to melt and smoke. At 375 degrees Fahrenheit, the cookies need to bake for 13-14 minutes if you made them the size we showed. If you made the cookies smaller, the baking time would be less. The cookies are supposed to be a little firm on the outside and nice and soft on the inside.

If you are careful with the baking (keeping a close eye towards the end and not overbaking), the outer layer is a bit crunchy but the inside is moist and chewy.

We have never frozen baked cookies but the batter can definitely be frozen up to about 4 months.
[Reply]
February 28th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
I made these cookies months ago and been wanting to comment on them. I followed the recipe exactly and they were not as sweet as Chocolate Chip Cookies are suppose to be. I didn’t see a point in adding quick oats; in fact, they got in the way of the taste so I will definitely leave them out next time. They did come out soft from inside and crispy on outside but we didn’t care for the taste. We kept feeling like it was missing something besides more brown sugar or regular sugar.
May I ask why you guys add quick oats? I felt it really got in the way!
One thing I did differently was add sea salt on top of some of the cookies before baking and it does provide a unique salty and sweet taste to it.
I froze half of the cookie batch and plan on making it this weekend with addition sugar and brown sugar and see if the cookies taste better. Will let you know how things went after defrosting the dough and with more sugar.

Hi Pinal,
Sorry you didn’t like the cookies…guess its a personal taste issue. We and our kids absolutely LOVE these! We purposely used less sugar because it has so much chocolate already and the oats add texture and some health factor by replacing some of the white flour. As the recipe has so much butter, we would not call these cookies “healthy” but compared to store bought ones, they are healthier.
[Reply]
Pinal Reply:
March 1st, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Thanks for your quick response. I guess it is a personal taste thing. I had compared the recipe on the back of the chocolate chips bag and most of it is the same including the butter. You guys just added less sugar and added oats and lemon juice.
I will let you know the outcome of freezing the dough and baking. It will help your loyal viewers including me.

Freezing process and baking: I had made a log of the remaining cookie dough and wrapped it with parchment paper twice and put it in a ziploc bag tightly sealed. Night before baking, I took the cookie dough bag out of the freezer and put it in the fridge for defrosting. I took it out an hour before I wanted to bake because it was still very hard and I wanted to add more sugar to it because it wasn’t sweet enough for us.
I added about a 1/4 cup of sugar and mixed well. Put the scoops of cookie dough on cookie tray and baked according to the direction and the cookies were done in 12-13 mins. They were fabulous, warm and gooey.
