Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º

Step 2

Spread walnuts out on a baking sheet, and toast in oven for 5 minutes

Step 3

Remove from oven and let cool while making cookies (adding them to dough while hot will melt your chocolate chips)

Step 4

Stir flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch together in a small mixing bowl and set aside

Step 5

Beat butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes)

Step 6

Beat in egg and vanilla

Step 7

Stir in dry ingredients until just combined

Step 8

Then add chocolate chips and walnuts, and stir together

Step 9

Refrigerate for one hour

Step 10

Separate dough into 6 balls (they’ll be very big!), and place on cookie sheet at least two inches apart

Step 11

Press additional chocolate chips on top of cookies if desired

Step 12

Bake for 10-12 minutes until set on the edges, and no longer wet looking. Go on the short side for gooier cookies, and longer side for more set cookies
