Ingredients:

  • 2 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 cups Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Note: A hot oven is crucial for that initial oven spring that sets the edges.
  2. Whisk the dry base. In a small bowl, combine the 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp fine sea salt. Note: This ensures the leavening is evenly distributed so you don't get bitter spots.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars. In your large mixer bowl, beat the 1 cup softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture looks pale, fluffy, and smells like sweet cream.
  4. Incorporate the eggs. Add the 2 large room temperature eggs one at a time. Beat well after each addition until the mixture is silky and fully combined.
  5. Add the flour mixture. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low speed. Stop as soon as you see no more white streaks of flour. Note: Overmixing here will make the cookies tough instead of tender.
  6. Fold in the morsels and nuts. Gently stir in the 2 cups chocolate morsels and 1 cup chopped walnuts by hand using a spatula.
  7. Scoop the dough. Use a 1 tablespoon scoop to drop rounded balls onto the sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the batch. Place in the center of the oven for 9 to 11 minutes. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but still soft.
  9. The first cooling phase. Let the cookies sit on the hot baking sheet for 2 minutes. You will hear them crackle slightly as the structure firms up.
  10. Final cool. Transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. The aroma of toasted walnuts will be strongest right now.
