Today is one of those days that I’ve been looking forward to. Like a birthday, but better because today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! And what is a better way than celebrating it with these chocolate chip walnut cookies?

First of all, I’m not a fan of walnuts on their own and not even on a bed of salad; however, that changed when you combine walnuts with chocolate especially in the form of…cookies.

There are 3 kinds of cookies: crispy, chewy, and cakey. Fun fact about baking: they all use the same ingredients; however, different in ratios to make cookies to your liking.

I like a combination of both crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. And these chocolate chip walnut cookies have it all!

What kind of chocolates for chocolate chip walnut cookies?

I like a combination of the dark with sweet; however, if you’re a big fan of chocolate like me, you might want to combine a coarsely chopped chocolate bar with chocolate chips. That way, you will get a different texture in each bite.

How can I keep my cookies thick?

The key is to freeze the dough before you bake them. So, right after you make the cookie dough, leave it in the fridge for 45 minutes – 1 hour. Then scoop the cookie dough and leave them in the fridge while you preheat the oven.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Absolutely! I often make an extra batch so I can bake them right away. You can freeze the cookie dough in a container so you just need to thaw in the fridge the night before you bake them or scoop the dough and freeze it until frozen solid, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag.
