Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until they are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies once they are completely cooled, and enjoy their buttery crunchiness!
