Servings: 14
Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter Cold Cut into Cubes
- ½ cup Brown Sugar 106g
- ¼ cup White Sugar 50g
- 1 Egg Large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspooon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour 180g
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips Semi-Sweet
- ½ cup Walnuts Chopped 60g
- Flakey Sea Salt Optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or use a silicone baking mat, and set these aside.
- Cut the cold Butter into cubes, and place them in a large bowl. Add the Granulated Sugar and cream them on medium or high speed with a hand mixer, or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy.
- Add the Egg and Vanilla Extract, and cream again until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to include all of the ingredients.
- Add the Brown Sugar and continue to cream for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the All-Purpose Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Cornstarch, and Salt. Mix well until fully combined.
- Stir the Chocolate Chips and chopped Walnuts into the cookie dough.
- Use a #24 cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough) to scoop the chocolate chip walnut cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- If desired, add additional Chocolate Chips and Walnuts on top of the cookie dough balls before baking them.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and a golden brown color. Centers will still be soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and add any additional Chocolate Chips and larger pieces of Walnuts that you would like to the tops of the cookies. This adds visual appeal to the cookies. You can sprinkle them with Flakey Sea Salt for a bonus flavor if you desire.
- Swirl a cookie cutter around the baked cookies to form them into perfect circles. Allow the baked cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Storage
- Storage: Once your Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies have completely cooled they can be stored in an airtight container or Ziploc bag, where they will stay fresh for up to 7 days. These cookies are best enjoyed within 3-4 days.
- Freezing: Store cookies in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap between each cookie to prevent them from sticking together. This option makes them perfect for preparing for the holidays!
