Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 large eggs cold
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3 cups walnut halves
- 1 1/2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
Directions
- In a large bowl, add the butter, the dark brown sugar, the granulated sugar, and the salt and using an electric handheld mixer, beat until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes.
- Add the eggs, 1 at a time, to the butter mixture and beat well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour, the baking powder, and the baking soda and whisk to combine.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the butter mixture, while beating, until it is just combined into a dough.
- Add the walnuts, the semisweet chocolate chips, and the dark chocolate chips to the dough and beat on low speed until some of the walnuts are broken into pieces and the nuts and chocolate chips are well-distributed throughout the dough.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Loosely shape the dough pieces into balls.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough balls for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Arrange the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies until they reach an internal temperature of 180 degrees F and become golden-brown, about 10-12 minutes. You may need to bake them in batches.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking pans for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cookie to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve.
