Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I’m always amazed that more people don’t use walnuts in their desserts. Pecans are a big one used but people tend to overlook walnuts. Trust me on this one…you shouldn’t. Walnuts are delicious and add so much flavor! But, if you just have to, pecans would work fine too.

What if I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?

It’s actually fine if you have to use salted butter. If you use salted butter when the recipe calls for unsalted butter, just omit the added salt that is listed on later in the ingredients. This way you won’t have double the salt in your cookies! 

How to store cookies once baked

More than likely, you’re going to have some cookies leftover after you bake them in the oven. To keep your cookies as fresh as possible, store them in a container with a lid and keep it as air-tight as you can. 

This will keep the cookies fresh and tasty and ready for round 2!

Ingredients to make chocolate chunk cookies

  • ½ cup vegetable shortening
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

How to make Homemade Chocolate Cookies

 

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat. Set aside. 

Cream shortening and butter with granulated and brown sugars in a large mixing bowl. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract until well blended.

Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix to combine.

Fold in chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, and walnuts until thoroughly combined.

Use a large cookie dough scoop to make 24 balls of dough. Place 6 balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet with 1-2 inches in between each ball. Flatten dough with the bottom of a glass.

Place in pre-heated oven and bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

      Chunks just mean more chocolate. And that’s never bad.

Thanks for stopping by as we talk all things home and travel. I was doing “DIY” before it was the thing to do. I was born in a big city and lived on farms growing up in small towns. Now I live in what some would consider a moderately big city. I still enjoy the common things associated with a home, mainly cooking and decorating, but always make time for travel. Maybe it’s finding something fun in my hometown, or exploring new places on a road trip or cruise. Please pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and let’s talk about it. Read more
