Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., pecans, almonds, walnuts, cashews)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the bowl, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chopped mixed nuts using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out dough balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls with your hand or the back of a spoon to create a slightly flattened shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once cooled, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
