Ingredients
- 1 cup butter slightly chilled
- 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour 473 grams
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips 12 ounces
- 2 cups walnuts 8 ounces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a light-colored baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat, if desired.
- Cream butter and sugars together until creamy.* Since the butter is still cool it might take a few minutes for the butter and sugar to fully mix together. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. *You can cut the butter into small pieces if you'd like to speed up this process.
- Add baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix until dough forms.
- Add walnuts and chocolate chips. Mix.Note: it might be easier to mix the nuts and chocolate chips in by hand.
- Portion the dough into 6-ounce balls. Bake 5 cookies on each sheet for 11-13 minutes. The outside of the cookie should be golden and the inside gooey.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
