These delightful Classic Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies feature a perfect balance of chewy and crisp, packed with rich chocolate and crunchy walnuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons hot water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Beat the softened butter, white sugar, and packed brown sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer.
  4. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Beat in the eggs, adding them one at a time.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Dissolve the baking soda completely in the hot water.
  8. Add the dissolved baking soda mixture to the batter.
  9. Add the salt to the batter.
  10. Mix the batter until all ingredients are combined.
  11. Stir in the all-purpose flour until just combined.
  12. Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips.
  13. Stir in the chopped walnuts until a soft dough forms.
  14. Drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
  15. Ensure the cookie dough drops are about 2 inches apart.
  16. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
  17. Bake until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned.
  18. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets briefly after baking.
  19. Transfer the cooled cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  20. Store the cookies in an airtight container or serve them immediately.

Notes

Ensure your butter is softened, not melted, for the best texture.
Do not overmix the flour; mix just until combined to keep cookies tender.
Take cookies out when edges are lightly browned; they will continue to set as they cool.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie size and even baking.
