Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each scoop about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear slightly undercooked. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm for a gooey texture or at room temperature. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
