Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently with a spatula.
Using a tablespoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
