Description
Amazingly chewy Dark Chocolate Chunk Walnut Cookies loaded with rich melting dark chocolate chunks and crunchy walnuts. A cookie you’re sure to crave!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 larges eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces high quality dark chocolate, cut into chunks (try to refrain from using chips as the chopped chocolate chunks melting throughout are key to these cookies)
- 1 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Beat in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, 1 cup at a time, until well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chunks and walnuts.
- Scoop the cookie dough into large (3 tablespoon sized) mounds and place them a few inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets (do not press down). Place the cookie sheets in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove cookie sheets from freezer and bake for about 14-16 minutes or until cookies start to turn light brown on top and slightly crisp around the edges. Rotate cookie sheets halfway through baking time.
- Let cool on cookie sheets 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or enjoying warm right away.
