Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I haven’t always been a fan of walnuts in my chocolate chip cookies. However, my husband loves walnuts. Actually, he loves any kind of nut. So it only made sense to add them to our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Only regular, traditional sized chocolate chips didn’t hold up to the walnuts. Therefore, I added chocolate chunks the next time and they were amazing.

- Vanilla extract; 2 tsp.
- All-purpose flour, 3 cups
- Baking powder, 1 tsp.
- Baking soda, 1 tsp.
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips

How to Make Walnut Chocolate Chunk 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.
How to Bake the Cookies
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.
Tips for Baking Cookies

- Chill the Dough – I discovered this tip a few years ago when my chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies kept coming out flat. As a result, I started chilling the dough before baking. By chilling the dough, you’re really chilling the butter so it’s not as likely to spread fast when the dough hits the hot oven.
- Parchment Paper – always use Parchment Baking Sheets when baking cookies. Another good choice are Silpat baking mats.
- Cookie Scoops – always use cookie scoops to place the dough on the baking tray. Subsequently, this will ensure the cookies are all the same size and they will bake evenly.
- Oven Temperature – make sure the oven is at the correct temperature. Don’t automatically assume your oven temperature is correct. Invest in an oven thermometer to be sure you have the oven set at the correct temperature. You can purchase a good digital oven thermometer on Amazon for not much money.
- Let the Cookies Rest on the Baking Tray – for a few minutes. Do not attempt to remove them from the baking trays as soon as they come out of the oven. The cookies are too warm and they’ll fall apart as you transfer them to a baking cooling rack.
