Equipment
- mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts chopped or blended
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.

- Dissolve baking soda in hot water and mix it into the batter.
- Add flour and salt. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!
- Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet using an ice cream scoop for even sizes.
- Optional: Add a few chocolate chips on top for that bakery-style look!
- Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Pour a glass of cold milk or hot tea and enjoy warm, melty cookies right out of the oven!
Notes
- Avoid scooping flour directly from the bag—instead, spoon it gently into your measuring cup and level it off for the best results.
- If you’re using a stand mixer, opt for the paddle attachment to mix without overworking the dough.
- For thicker cookies or to prevent spreading in a warm kitchen, chill the dough for 15–30 minutes before baking.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking to add a delicious, gourmet touch!
