Ingredients
-
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (3 ounces)
12 ounces coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate chunks (Four 3-ounce chocolate bars such as Lindt or Tobler)
vegetable shortening, for the baking sheets
Preparation
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla and salt and beat with a spoon until fluffy.
Beat in the egg and baking soda.
Stir in the flour, walnuts and chocolate.
Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0.
Using 2 to 3 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, shape the dough into balls and place on the lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies spring back when very lightly touched.
Cool on the sheets for 2 minutes, transfer to paper towels to cool for about 2 minutes, and transfer to racks to cool.
