White Chocolate Chip and Walnut Cookies

I don't usually bake with white chocolate as it is too sweet. However, these cookies were absolutely delicious-and the addition of walnuts definitely took them to another level, So if you prefer soft and chewy cookies, this is the recipe for you.

White Chocolate Chip and Walnut Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups + 1 tbsp Flour

½ tsp Baking Soda

¼ tsp Salt

¾ cup Unsalted Butter, softened

1 cup Brown Sugar, packed

½ cup Sugar

1 egg, at room temp

1 egg yolk, at room temp

2 tsp Vanilla

1 cup White Chocolate, chopped into small chunks

1 cup Walnuts, chopped into small chunks

Method

1. In a bowl, mix and sift flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

2. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugars together. Then add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and continue to mix.

3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing well between each addition.

4. When everything is incorporated, stir in the white chocolate and the walnuts. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.

5. Preheat the oven to 160C/325F, and line baking sheets with wax paper.

6. Spoon out dough into balls (I used about a tbsp. per dough ball), and place on the baking sheets, making sure to leave enough space in between the cookies (they will spread).

7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are slightly golden and cookies look soft and puffy. Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy.
