Delicious Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
22
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
  • 1 cup walnuts (chopped)
  • 1 cup oats (optional for texture)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

    Use room temperature butter for the best texture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients

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

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  4. Blend Mixtures

    Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

    Do not overmix; it can make the cookies tough.
  5. Add Chocolate and Nuts

    Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

    Reserve a few chocolate chips for topping.
  6. Scoop Dough

    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

    Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
  8. Cool and Enjoy

    Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

    Cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
