Chocolate chip walnut cookies are soft, chewy treats packed with melty chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts. With crisp edges and gooey centers, they’re a classic favorite perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough before baking to reduce spreading if your kitchen is warm.For extra chewiness, use more brown sugar than granulated sugar.Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking for contrast.Use toasted walnuts for a deeper, nuttier flavor.Freeze dough balls for quick fresh-baked cookies anytime.
