Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Walnut Cookies image

These are melt in your mouth cookies. Easy to make and so delicious.

Provided by Anita Hoffman

Categories     Cookies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c unsalted butter
1 1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1 c sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
1/2 c dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 pkg (11 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks
1 c chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Cream the butter and peanut butter together. Add the sugars and cream on medium speed.
  • 2. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  • 3. Combine dry ingredients and add to peanut butter mixture gradually and mix until no white remains; then add chocolate chunks and nuts. Mix well.
  • 4. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets. Press down slightly.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 6. Cool on baking sheets 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Softened butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth and fluffy batter.
  • Measure your flour correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour. If you don't have a scale, spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and the tops should be firm to the touch. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. If you store them while they are still warm, they may become too soft and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Walnut butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a rich walnut flavor. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your walnut butter cookies turn out perfectly every time.
