Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (plain flour)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda (bicarb of soda)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 6 ounces, 175g
- ½ cup chopped walnuts 60g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.
- Stir the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Add the butter and both sugars to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla.
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
- Gently stir in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden at the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Don't overbake the cookies - ever so slightly underbaked makes them get the classic chewy texture.
- If you're using salted butter, you don't need to add any more to the batter. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the batter.
- To soften the butter quickly, try grating it on a cheese grater into a bowl, then let it sit for 5 minutes and it will quickly come up to room temperature.
- Storage: Store your leftover chocolate chip walnut cookies in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: This cookie dough is freezable! For best results, freeze it in balls and then bake from frozen, adding an extra 2 minutes to the total cooking time.
