Irresistible Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

Ingredients

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Sheets
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them to prevent the cookies from sticking.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

4. Add the Wet Ingredients
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla flavoring.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. Fold in the Mix-ins
Gently fold the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts into the dough until evenly distributed.

7. Shape the Cookies
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers should still be slightly soft.

9. Cool the Cookies
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
