Ingredients:
- 225 grams of unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams of brown sugar
- 100 grams of granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 350 grams of all-purpose flour
- 300 grams of chocolate chips
- 100 grams of chopped walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F).
- Make the cookie dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and flour until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts to distribute evenly throughout the dough without overmixing.
- Shape and bake the cookies:
- Divide the cookie dough into portions weighing between 150 to 180 grams each. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a lined baking sheet, spaced well apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 11 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden but the centers are still soft.
- Cool the cookies:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
