1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, beat the butter, sugars, maple syrup, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the flour, oatmeal, and salt to the sugar mixture and mix until well blended. Stir in the walnuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Let the cookies cool on baking sheets about 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

You can substitute pancake syrup for real maple syrup. The flavor isn't as strong, but they're still yummy.

I had the same problem. as sandysu2. Good flavor but seems butter to flour ratio is off

The maple walnut drops are a cookie that does spread somewhat. The Test Kitchen recommends making sure that rolled oats are used instead of instant oats, that the butter is softened slightly and not to the point of melty. Plus, the cookie dough can be refrigerated for 30 minutes then baked. Hope this helps!

I made these cookies last night. They tasted good but spread out like a pancake when baking. Anyone else have this situation?
