Provided by Anita Hoffman

Categories     Cookies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c unsalted butter
1 1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1 c sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
1/2 c dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 pkg (11 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks
1 c chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Cream the butter and peanut butter together. Add the sugars and cream on medium speed.
  • 2. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  • 3. Combine dry ingredients and add to peanut butter mixture gradually and mix until no white remains; then add chocolate chunks and nuts. Mix well.
  • 4. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets. Press down slightly.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 6. Cool on baking sheets 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature butter: This will help the cookies to cream together more easily and will result in a more tender cookie. Softened butter will also make it easier to mix in the other ingredients.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much. You can chill the dough for 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough: This will help to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and will bake evenly. A cookie scoop will also help to prevent you from overfilling the cookies, which can cause them to spread too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will vary depending on the recipe you are using. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cookies.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies for the amount of time specified in the recipe, or until they are just set. You can check to see if the cookies are done by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cookie. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cookies are done.

Conclusion:

Walnut butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your walnut butter cookies turn out perfectly every time. With their rich, nutty flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
