Ingredients

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

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°C (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

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

Set aside.

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

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

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.

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 the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 4 servings

Notes

For the best results, make sure to use room temperature ingredients, especially the softened butter.

If you don’t have unsalted butter, you can use salted butter but omit the additional 1 teaspoon of salt in the recipe.

Chopped walnuts can be substituted with chopped pecans or hazelnuts for a different flavor profile.

Semi-sweet chocolate chips can be replaced with dark or milk chocolate chips, depending on your preference.

To ensure the cookies bake evenly, make sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each scoop of dough on the baking sheet.

If you want a chewier cookie, bake for 10-11 minutes.

If you prefer a crisper cookie, bake for 14-15 minutes.

These cookies freeze well, so you can store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Simply thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave when you’re ready to serve.
