Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ⅔ cups (636 ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (340 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (227 g) walnuts, coarsely chopped
Sweeteners and Fats:
- 1 cup (227 g) butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) sugar
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Thoroughly prepare your workspace by heating the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Combine all dry ingredients – flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt – in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of powdery components.
- In a separate large bowl, cream softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar using a whisk or electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition to create a uniform consistency.
- Pour in vanilla extract and blend seamlessly with the wet ingredients.
- Gradually fold the prepared dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms without overmixing.
- Gently fold chopped walnuts and chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Using a large scoop or spoon, shape 12 generously sized cookies and position them approximately 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, monitoring until edges turn a delicate golden brown and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, which helps them set and maintain a perfect texture.
Notes
- Customize your cookie size by adjusting the scoop, making smaller or larger versions for different occasions.
- Experiment with mix-ins like pecans, dark chocolate chunks, or white chocolate chips for unique flavor combinations.
- Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for spontaneous baking, extending enjoyment without losing quality.
- Room temperature ingredients ensure smoother mixing and more consistent cookie texture, helping achieve bakery-style results.
- Slightly underbaking creates chewier centers, while longer baking times produce crispier edges for personal preference.
