Photo: Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
- 1 1/4 pounds semisweet chocolate chunks
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and two sugars until light and fluffy in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the butter with the mixer on low speed, mixing only until combined. Fold in the walnuts and chocolate chunks.
Drop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, using a 1 3/4-inch-diameter ice cream scoop or a rounded tablespoon. Dampen your hands and flatten the dough slightly. Bake for exactly 15 minutes (the cookies will seem underdone). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Excellent cookies! I agree with other reviews. Possibly the best chocolate chip cookie. I used semisweet chocolate chips and pecans because that is what I had on hand. Simply delicious!

Absolutely incredible!! The best chocolate chip cookies ever - my search is now over. I followed the recipe exactly except baked for 11 minutes as recommended by other reviewers. I used high quality chocolate bar that I chopped into chunks. Never going back to preformed chips. Thank you, Ina! These are brilliant!

Amazing cookies, they are now my go to cookie recipe when I'm craving chocolate chip cookies! I personally do not like crisp and thin chocolate chip cookies, I like them soft and chewy so I adjusted the recipe and cook them at 330 degrees for 11 minutes and they come out perfect. I took them to an office picnic and everyone raved about them and begged for the recipe. Do not substitute the chocolate chunks for regular chips b/c they make the recipe. These cookies are perfect in every way and do not look or feel greasy which some chocolate chip cookies tend to do. Thank you Ina for sharing!!
