I have been making these for over 30 years and take them to every gathering where they are expected and devoured. I will make two batches, Nuts and No Nuts. The No Nuts are made first so there is no cross-contamination.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups packed all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 sticks butter-softened
  • 2 - eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/4 cups vanilla or white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

How To Make nuts and no nuts - choc. & white choc. cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prep cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    In a mixer (or with a hand mixer), mix together the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla until light and creamy.
  • Step 3
    In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Step 4
    When butter mix is fluffy, sift in the flour mixture and mix completely.
  • Step 5
    Add in both chocolate and white chips and blend. If desired, add in the nuts.
  • Step 6
    Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on the cookie sheets. I keep my hands moist while rolling, it keeps the batter from sticking and makes the cookies come out prettier.
  • Step 7
    Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until slightly golden. My oven is old, so half-way through baking, I will rotate the cookie sheets and switch the racks they are on in the oven. I cook two sheets at a time.
  • Step 8
    When they are finished cooking, let them cool a little on the cookie sheets, filling your home with an incredible aroma, and then transfer to cooling racks. The cookies should be thick, soft and delicious.
