Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed nuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Fold in the chopped mixed nuts using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a more uniform shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture • Don't overmix the dough - this keeps the cookies tender and chewy • Use a mix of fresh, high-quality nuts for maximum flavor complexity • Slightly flatten the cookie dough balls to promote even baking • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture • For extra indulgence, try toasting the nuts before adding them to the dough to enhance their nutty flavor
