Chewy, buttery chocolate chip cookies with walnuts. These cookies are so good and easy to make!
Servings: 24 cookies
Cost: $10
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts roughly chopped
Instructions
- Sift baking soda, salt, and flour together in a medium bowl.
- In an electric mixer, beat room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and the vanilla and almond extract.
- Turn the electric mixer to low and slowly add in the flour mixture.
- Beat on low to medium, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add in the chocolate chips, oats, and chopped walnuts and mix on low until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Using a cookie scooper, scoop a ball of cookie dough.
- Place 9 cookies on a prepared baking sheet.
- In a preheated 350-degree oven, bake the chocolate cherry chunk cookies for 10-11 minutes.
- 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.
