For the Cookie Dough

  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract avoid imitation vanilla

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and walnut pieces gently.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop dough into balls, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Centers may look slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
