Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (6g) baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  7. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for enhanced flavour and texture.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
