Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center, as they will continue to set while cooling.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips
- Ensure butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Use room temperature eggs to help them blend more smoothly into the batter.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough, dense cookies.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or weigh each dough ball.
- Remove cookies when they look slightly underbaked - they'll continue setting while cooling.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their ideal texture and prevent sogginess.
- For extra indulgence, slightly press additional chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking.
- Store in an airtight container to keep cookies fresh and maintain their delicious softness.
