Ready Time

1 hrs 15 mins

Yields

6 servings

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture. Make sure to use room temperature butter for a tender cookie.

Don’t overmix the dough, as it can lead to tough cookies.

If you want a chewier cookie, bake for 10-11 minutes. For a crisper cookie, bake for 14-15 minutes.

Walnuts are optional, feel free to omit or substitute with another nut of your choice.

Consider using a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips for a deeper flavor profile. To ensure cookies retain their freshness, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
