Description
Make thick, giant chocolate chip cookies with crispy edges and a soft, gooey center, similar to the famous New York bakery style. This recipe includes walnuts for authentic flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Scoop large portions of dough (about 6 ounces or a scant 1/2 cup) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. Do not flatten the dough balls.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The edges should look set and slightly golden, but the centers should still look soft and slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the best texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies stay thick.
- Use high-quality chocolate chunks or chips for a better melt.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the butter with browned butter, cooled slightly before creaming with the sugars.
