Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the two large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but slightly soft.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Hot N Nutty Cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week!
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can make cookies tough instead of tender.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and smoother batter.
- For extra nutty flavor, consider lightly toasting your chopped nuts before adding them to the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking.
- Let cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture and freshness.
