Walnut + White Chocolate Cookies

I feel like I haven’t done a decent biscuit or cookie in ages so I’m only delighted to share my Walnut + White Chocolate Cookies recipe with ye today! These are perfect for any occasion or Tuesday, crispy on the edge and perfectly chewy in the middle!

These cookies come together very quickly and they’re super easy to bang out, making them a perfect go to party accessory! An hour is more than enough chill time for them so don’t be worrying about making it the day before, they’ll come together in a morning or afternoon.

⏲ Rest Time: 70 minutes

🍪 Servings: 37 cookies (1 tbsp scoop) 15 (2 tbsp scoop)

Equipment

• stand mixer

• weighing scale/ measuring cups + spoons

• spatula

• silicon baking mats

• baking trays

Ingredients

• 2 cups/240g all purpose flour

• 1 tsp/5g baking powder

• 1/2 tsp/2.5g salt

• 11 tbsp/150g unsalted butter (room temp)

• 1/2 cup/100g granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup/100g dark brown sugar

• 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk

• 1 tsp/5g vanilla extract

• 3/4 cup/90g chopped walnuts

• 1 cup/140g chopped white chocolate

Instructions

1.

Weigh and sieve your flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl and set aside.

Chop your chocolate and put it aside with your walnuts.

2.
Cream butter and sugar together in your stand mixer.

3.
Add your egg and vanilla and mix through.

4.
Add flour mix, a cup at a time, and mix through.

5.
Add 75-80% of your chocolate/nut mix and mix until just combined.

6.
Cover your dough and put in the fridge for at least an hour before baking.

I think an hour is more than enough time with these to get perfect cookies.

7.
Preheat your oven to 350°F, 180°C, for at least 30 minutes before baking.

8.
Using a tablespoon scoop make cylinder shapes of cookie dough and place them on a baking tray, with a silicon mat, 2 inches apart.

Use 1 scoop for regular/small cookies or 2 scoops for a real treat!

9.
Bake for 9-12 minutes depending on how soft and chewy you want your cookies, I do mine for 9 and they are perfectly chewy with a slight crunch on the edge.

10.
Once you take the cookies out use a round baking cutter that’s slightly bigger than your cookie to make sure all your cookies are perfectly round.

Just put the cutter over the cookie and give it a swirl in a clockwise circular direction. It will give you the perfect cookie shape.

11.
Now is the time to stick some of the leftover white chocolate and walnut chunks into the top of your warm soft cookies.

Let the cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
