Nothing quite beats the smell of freshly-baked cookies, especially if they're fully loaded with walnuts, dark and white chocolate.
The basic recipe is courtesy of a baking classic Joy of Cooking, and I've just piled on an obscene amount of chocolate and nuts. Oh joy...
Anyway, these are really easy and fast to make. From start to wash-up, 45 minutes max. So, there's really no excuse to settle for crappy supermarket cookies now is there?
- 140g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 100g white sugar
- 110g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat the oven to 190C. In a large bowl, beat flour, salt and baking soda until well blended.
With an electric mixer, beat sugars and butter with the paddle attachment until smooth. Add the flour and continue beating till well mixed.
Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat till you get a smooth batter. Finally, fold in the chocolate and nuts and mix well.
Drop teaspoon sized globs onto a baking tray, spacing them 2 inches apart (the cookies will spread while baking). Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until slightly coloured on top and edges are brown. Let cool completely.
