- 2 cups (340 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (227 g) walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup (227 g) butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsps cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep Station: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for smooth cookie transformation.
- Dry Blend: Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt in a medium bowl until perfectly integrated.
- Sugar Fusion: Cream butter with brown and granulated sugars using an electric mixer until light and airy, creating a silky foundation.
- Liquid Harmony: Whisk eggs into the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, then incorporate vanilla extract for a smooth, consistent base.
- Dough Development: Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, mixing gently until a uniform dough emerges without overworking the batter.
- Mix-In Magic: Tenderly fold walnuts and chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution of crunchy and sweet elements.
- Cookie Crafting: Scoop 12 generously sized portions onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow proper expansion.
- Baking Brilliance: Place in preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and soft centers that promise perfect texture.
- Cooling Technique: Let cookies rest on baking sheet after removing from oven, allowing them to set and develop their ultimate crisp-yet-chewy character.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth blending and consistent cookie texture.
- Mixing Magic: Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough, dense cookies – mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Chocolate Chip Hack: Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and enhance flavor depth.
- Cooling Crucial: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes after baking to firm up and prevent breaking.
