  • Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients, especially butter. This ensures that it emulsifies and prevents spreading while baking when it mixes with the sugar.
  • Use a cookie scooper for even cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  • When adding the chocolate chips and walnuts, fold them into the batter with a spatula. This will prevent chocolate chips and walnuts from sticking to the mixer paddle.
  • Bake time always varies depending on the actual oven temperature and locations, so check the cookies after 10 minutes.
  • Let the chocolate chip walnut cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them stay together without breaking.
