Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated (white) sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup walnuts finely chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add the butter, sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low until combined and then beat on medium speed for about 1 minute. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. Stop mixer and add the flour, walnuts and bittersweet chocolate chip. Mix on low speed until a cohesive cookie dough forms, about 1 minute.
  • Drop dough by a cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoons each) onto cookies sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Bake for 10 minutes. I rotate the pans front to back and top rack to bottom rack halfway through baking time.
  • The cookies should look a bit underdone when you take them out of the oven. They will set up as they cool.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Remove them to a cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Cookies are best eaten within a day or two. Place completely cooled cookies in a freezer bag and freeze for up to one month if desired.
