Ingredients- 400g unsalted butter, softened
- 200g shortening
- 600g dark brown sugar
- 250g eggs (about 5 large eggs), room temperature
- 600g cake flour
- 10g baking powder
- 400g chocolate chips
- 300g chopped walnuts
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, in a clean mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter (400g) and shortening (200g) until smooth. Add the dark brown sugar (600g) and beat for about 10 minutes until the sugar is well incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy, resembling a creamy texture. Gradually add the eggs (250g total, about 5 large eggs) one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined. This ensures the cookie dough emulsifies properly and doesn’t separate.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour (600g) and baking powder (10g) twice. Sifting helps to aerate the flour and prevent lumps, leading to a more tender cookie. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. When the flour is mostly incorporated but still slightly visible, stir in the chocolate chips (400g) and chopped walnuts (300g). Mix gently until evenly distributed, ensuring no streaks of flour remain. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
Step 3
Divide the cookie dough into portions of approximately 50g each. Shape each portion into a round disc. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the cookie dough portions on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to allow for spreading during baking. Ensure the cookies are uniformly shaped for even cooking.
Step 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 16 minutes. Baking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven. While the cookies are baking, prepare a perforated baking mat or a wire rack by lining it with parchment paper. This will make transferring the hot cookies easier.
Step 5
Once baked, carefully transfer the hot cookies from the baking sheet to the prepared perforated mat or wire rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely. They are fragile when hot, so handle them gently. Once fully cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. Enjoy your delicious homemade cookies!
