CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Makes around 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease or spray 2 cookies sheets and set aside. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until creamy. Reduce speed to low, and add the eggs (one at a time), and the vanilla. Mix to combine. Slowly add in the sifted flour and mix until just incorporated. Add the chocolate and the walnuts to the bowl and mix until they are distributed evenly.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, drop 1-inch balls onto greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes. Cook on cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to cooling rack as cookies will be very soft.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
