Servings: 10 cookies
Calories: 196kcal
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon additional walnut and chocolate chips: optional
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix the room-temperature unsalted butter and brown sugar with a stand or hand mixer. Mix on low speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then add egg and mix until well combined.
- Gradually sift the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Stir in the dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips) and chopped walnuts. The dough should be filled with delicious chunks and crunchy walnuts.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. (Do not skip this important step!)
- Use a cookie scoop or your hands to portion it into equally-sized balls. Roll each portion into a smooth, round ball between the palms of your hands. The size of the balls will decide the size of your cookies. Press down on the top of each dough ball with a fork. Make a crisscross pattern by pressing the fork down once, rotating it 90 degrees, and pressing down again. Repeat for each cookie.
- Arrange the shaped cookie dough balls onto parchment-lined or greased cookie sheet, leaving enough space between them to spread during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Take the baking sheet out of the oven, press down a few more nuts and chocolate chips on top of each cookie, and bake for an additional 5 minutes. You can skip this step, but I love my cookies loaded with all the goodies, and they turn out the best! For a chewy texture, do not overbake.
- Once out of the oven, transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack to cool. They'll continue to firm up as they cool down.
- Serve with a glass of milk or as is. Enjoy!
