These Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies are loaded with chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts for a bakery style cookie that's irresistible. Easy to make and perfect for sharing, they're sure to satisfy any cookie craving.
Preheat oven to 400°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or with hand beaters and large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg.
Beat in vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients: baking soda, salt and all purpose flour. Mix on low speed just until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts until fully incorporated.
Using a large scoop (3 tablespoons) or a scant ¼ cup, place dough 3 inches apart on lined cookie sheets.
Flatten each cookie to ½ inch thick, 2 inches wide and smooth out the edges.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are no longer wet and glossy but still light in color.
Cool on pans for 3 minutes then remove to wire rack and cool completely.
