📝 Ingredients

These chocolate chip cookies are easy to make. To make them, you need the following ingredients:

  • ½ cup vegetable shortening
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 3 ounces dark chocolate bar, chopped
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped

👩🏻‍🍳 How To Make Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Start by creaming shortening, butter, and the sugars together.

Creaming shortening in a bowl.

Then add eggs and vanilla.

Adding egg to cookie dough.

Next, you add flour, the leavening agents (baking powder and baking soda), and salt. You want to make sure that it all gets combined really well.

And last, you want to fold in the chocolate and walnuts.

I like to use a cookie scoop when I make cookies so that they are uniform in size. If you don’t have a scoop, just try to make sure they are about the same size so that they cook evenly.

Bake the cookies in an oven that has been preheated to 375 degrees for about 12 minutes or until they are starting to turn a golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

I like to save some cookies for later. These cookies freeze well and should be fine in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    These turned out wonderfully with black walnuts, even though I didn’t use quite as much chocolate. They looked professionally done and tasted great!
