Chocolate Chip Walnut Quinoa cookies



½ cup dry quinoa
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup packed light Brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 bag (10 or 11.5 ounce) bittersweet chocolate chips
1 bag(10 or 11.5 ounce) white baking chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

heat oven to 375°. Heat a 2 to 3 quart sauté pan over medium heat. Add quinoa. Cook, stirring constantly, until quinoa pops, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

In a medium bowl whisk flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and make and popped quinoa. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low, beat in vanilla. Spoon flour mixture into bowl and beat on low just until combined.

With a wooden spoon, stir in both kinds of chips and the walnuts. Drop dough onto baking sheet by large spoonfuls (about 3 tablespoons) 2 inches apart. Bake at 375° for 12 to 15 minutes per batch. Cool two minutes on baking sheet; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
