Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Reserve!
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for about 1 minute or until softened slightly. Add the sugars, mixing well until combined. Then, add eggs and vanilla, beating at medium-low speed until the cookie mixture separates.
- Turn the mixer off, add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together. Using a tuber spatula, fold the chocolate chips and walnuts into the dough.
- Make even-size cookie mounds and weigh each on a kitchen scale. Each must be about 4.5 ounces each or 127.5 g each.
- Place cookie mounds on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets and freeze the cookie dough mounds for 1 hour. They’ll firm up and won't spread as much when baking. NOTE: If you prefer, you can freeze the cookie dough at this point for baking another day (make ahead).
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190° C).
- Bake the cookie dough mounds straight from the freezer for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown along the edges and the tops start to brown. The center will be slightly under-baked, making it moist and chewy inside!
- Allow our chocolate chip walnut cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then gently transfer them to a wire rack to set and cool more. You can have them slightly warm if you want!
Notes

- You can freeze them. But be aware after thawing, they won’t have crisp edges anymore yet they will still be moist.
- To defrost these baked cookies faster, wrap each cookie in a paper towel and microwave for about 15-18 seconds.
