Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup walnuts toasted and chopped
  • 1 tbsp milk optional, for softer cookies

Instructions
 

  • Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in Chocolate and Walnuts: Gently fold in chocolate chips and toasted walnuts. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for best texture.
  • Shape Cookies: Scoop dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches apart.
  • Bake: Bake in preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly soft.
  • Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

🔹 Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and crunch.
🔹 For bakery-style cookies, use a mix of chocolate chunks and chips.
🔹 Chill the dough to prevent spreading.
🔹 Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for gourmet flavor.
🔹 Cookies stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
