Ultra thick and so darn soft on the inside these chocolate chip walnut cookies are loaded with melty chocolate chunks and toasty walnuts in every bite!
Because, it’s weekend and we all deserve a cookie! A huge one. And certainly these are some of the best chocolate chip cookies I have made in a while.
Between the soft cookie dough, crunchy walnuts and about a million of melty chocolate pockets-this one easily beats some of the best chocolate chip cookie recipes out there!
These cookies bake slightly crispy and golden on the outside while the inside stays unbelievably thick and gooey.
Most noteworthy, they tick all the marks of a perfect chocolate chip cookie.
- Oozing with pockets of melty chocolate chips, I use semi sweet
- Delightfully crisp edges
- To die for soft in the centers
- That remarkable thickness! Probably the thickest cookie you will ever bake
- And an amazing nutty contrast from walnuts
I used California Valley Nuts’ walnuts to make my cookies. Seriously one of my favorite nuts for baking! That nutty aroma, when I toasted these walnuts was just amazing.
I must say what a difference high quality ingredients make! Make sure to use good quality chocolate chips and vanilla (in the amount I mention) too. And you will know what I am talking about.
Also walnuts are a huge help in producing super thick cookies. I swear by the love of chocolate chip cookies!
Furthermore, chocolate and walnut flavor together in buttery soft cookies will blow your mind away!
Walnut chocolate chip cookies: Ingredients
This recipe is created to produce 5 large sized cookies. It is based off of my super thick choc-chip cookies. I increased the amount of ingredients used to produce even more thicker and chewier cookies.
- We are adding more brown sugar than white for an ultimate chewy texture.
- Cornstarch, to produce that ultimate thick cookie ever known.
- Semi sweet choc-chips (I ain’t a fan of cloyingly sweet cookies). You may substitute them with milk chocolate chips too. No judgments here! 😉
- Room temperature butter and egg. One more time, room temperature only!
- Walnuts, for a texture contrast to these mouth melting delicacies!
I have shared numerous tips and tricks to produce thick chocolate chip cookies in this post. You don’t want to miss that out before baking these!
Seems like you are about to attain Chocolate chip cookie Nirvana! I am so excited for you to experience it.

HI, WOULD LOVE TO MAKE THESE COOKIES. ONLY ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. HOW DO YOU GET 2 TBS. OF ONE EGG?
Hi Doris! I break an egg, whisk it lightly and measure 2 Tbsp out of it. Alternatively you can double the recipe using one egg, if you don’t mind a big batch of cookies. Hope this helps!
