Delicious Chocolate Walnut Cookies Recipe for Everyone

Ingredients

Servings:
50
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for added flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional to enhance chocolate flavor)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

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

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

    Make sure to mix until fully combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon and espresso powder.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent clumps.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Chocolate and Walnuts

    Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

    Reserve some chocolate chips to top the cookies before baking.
  7. Scoop the Dough

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Space the cookies about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the Cookies

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

    Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
