Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup (100g) chopped walnuts (or pecans)

Instructions

  • Whisk Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars. In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), beat the cold, cubed butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually Add Dry Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Fold in Chocolate and Nuts. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Chill the Dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Preheat Oven and Scoop Dough. Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the chilled cookie dough into large mounds, about ½ cup each.
  • Bake the Cookies. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Cool and Enjoy. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
