Giant chocolate chip cookies filled with oats for chewiness and walnuts for texture. These small batch Giant Walnut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are perfect for a midweek indulgence.
Happy Wednesday!
I hope you’re ready for a midweek treat! =)
I’ve been needing a little midweek pick me up more often than usual lately. Mostly because it’s been busier and harder than usual at work. And will continue to be for the foreseeable future. So I definitely feel like I need a little pick me up to get me through the rest of the week.
One of the treats I’ve been obsessing over lately? Giant cookies. Maybe it’s because I feel like I’m not as obligated to share. Lol. Or maybe it’s because it’s so simple to make and I don’t have to use a full size oven to make these. If you don’t have a full sized oven, you can easily make these giant cookies in the toaster oven too. Plus, I find that with a giant cookie, I’m happy with just one. With regular cookies? I tend to lose count as to how many I’ve grabbed. lol
Especially for those days when those chocolate chip cookies cravings are seriously real. These giant walnut chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are perfect.
Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside for now.
In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix with a spatula until combined. Add vanilla extract and egg and mix until combined.
In a separate small mixing bowl, add flour, oats, baking soda, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Whisk until combined.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until all the ingredients are combined. The cookie dough may feel wet. If you want the dough to be more firm, refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Divide the dough in half and shape into a ball as best as possible.
Place extra chocolate chips and walnuts on top of the cookie dough and bake the cookie for 18-23 minutes until the edges are browned. Add a pinch of sea salt on top if desired.
If in an oven, you can bake both cookies at the same time. If in a toaster oven, bake one cookie at a time. Or you can freeze the cookie dough to bake later.
Serve the Giant Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies warm.

Love the small batch! Simple and yummy looking. Also-just more honest, I think, to eat one huge cookie than one small…then another…then…
Pinned📌 I’ll definitely be craving these all week 😊
Hope you’ll like it!
