How to make Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Step 1. Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2. Combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl. You can use a stand mixer or hand mixer to ensure the unsalted butter, vegetable oil and both sugars are combined. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is creamy. Then add the eggs.
Step 3. Get out a separate mixing bowl and stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
Step 4. Next, combine the wet ingredients and dry ingredients. We recommend mixing this by hand so that the mixture does not get over mixed.
Step 5. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts into the flour mixture. Do this step by hand and do not use an electric mixer.
Step 6. Form the dough balls with a cookie scoop. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Step 7. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until the edges of the cookies are slightly brown. Do not over bake. The cookies may look raw in the middle but they will continue to cook as they set. Allow to cool a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
