Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups toasted California walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread out walnuts on baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown and lightly toasted. Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. Beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in bowl of electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat for about 1 minute or until combined.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Form cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place onto prepared baking sheet. Lightly press down on each round ball with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly before baking.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool 2 minutes on pan, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
