Chocolate Walnut Cookies


Craving a rich, decadent cookie? These Chocolate Walnut Cookies are the perfect treat. With their chewy texture, gooey chocolate chips, and crunchy walnuts, they're sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the wet ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine the dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.  
  6. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts: Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  7. Bake the cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  8. Bake until golden brown: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  9. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.  

Tips:

  • For a chewier cookie, underbake slightly.
  • If you prefer a crunchier cookie, bake for a few extra minutes.
  • To make these cookies nut-free, omit the walnuts.
