Go Nuts Chocolate Chip Cookies

Описание: We’ve got a fabulous chocolate chip cookie recipe, then we’re jazzing it up with some chopped walnuts for a double kick! I made monster cookies from this batch but regular sized cookies are perfect too - and this recipe makes a Lot. Perfect for gifting. The dough freezes great for on demand cookies straight from the oven. Go make cookies! #cookiesrecipe #chocolate #walnuts #holidaybaking #gifting

GO NUTS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, room temperature
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
Gather your ingredients, making sure your butter is softened and your eggs are at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat butter, white sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
Dissolve baking soda in water. Add to your batter along with salt and mix until combined.
Add in the flour, chocolate chips and walnuts until a soft dough forms.
At this point if you chill the dough for a few minutes before forming cookies, they will hold their shape better while baking.
Drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough 2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. I made monster-sized cookies so I baked mine for 15 minutes.
Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack. Cool completely.
Serve warm or store in a airtight container.
Note: You may form cookies then freeze. Store in the freezer and bake as needed.
