Chewy Chocolate Chip and Walnut Cookies
Chewy Chocolate Chip and Walnut Cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and crunchy, with a generous amount of chocolate chips and walnuts in every bite. They're the perfect cookie for any occasion, whether you're enjoying them with a glass of milk or as a sweet treat to share with friends.
The chocolate chip cookie is a classic American dessert that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for generations. The first chocolate chip cookie recipe was created by Ruth Graves Wakefield in 1938, and it quickly became a favorite among home bakers. Over the years, many variations of the chocolate chip cookie have been created, but the basic ingredients and method remain the same. Our Chewy Chocolate Chip and Walnut Cookies are a take on the classic recipe, with a few added touches that make them extra special. We use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar to give the cookies a rich, caramel-like flavor. We also add a touch of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the chocolate chips and walnuts. And finally, we use a combination of baking soda and salt to give the cookies a chewy texture.
