Tips

  • Chop walnuts and chocolate to various sizes for better texture.
  • The combination of white and brown sugar makes the cookie crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added.
  • Leave enough space between cookies on the baking tray as they spread.
  • Do not press the dough balls together when placing them on the tray for a looser texture.
  • Refrigerate the dough balls for an hour before baking for crispy outside and soft inside.
  • Bake at 180°C (350°F) with heat from above and below, without the fan.
  • Let cookies rest on the tray for 10 minutes after baking before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely, as they are very soft when hot.
  • Store cooled cookies in a metal, glass, or cardboard box for up to 1 week at room temperature.
