Indulge in the rich, nutty flavors of homemade Choc-chunk walnut cookies. These cookies blend the crunchiness of walnuts with the decadent sweetness of dark chocolate chunks, creating a delightful treat. Perfect for any occasion, these cookies are sure to be a hit with family and friends.
Instructions:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop the walnuts roughly to your desired size or pulse them a few times in a food processor. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
4. Add the Egg:
Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the white rice flour and all-purpose white wheat flour until thoroughly mixed.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Incorporate the Mix-Ins:
Fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, your Choc-Chunk Walnut Cookies are ready to be enjoyed with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!

Choc-chunk walnut cookies FAQ:
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain slightly soft.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag, where they can last for up to three months.
Yes, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend as a substitute, but ensure it is one that includes xanthan gum or add a small amount to mimic the texture of wheat flour.
You can substitute the dark chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate, depending on your preference for sweetness.
If your cookie dough appears too dry, try adding a tablespoon of milk or water to help incorporate the dry ingredients better. Mix in gradually until the desired consistency is achieved.
Tips:
- Toast the walnuts before adding them to the dough. This enhances their flavor and adds an extra crunch to your cookies.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing to help it blend smoothly with the sugars.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much and helps achieve a thicker, chewier texture.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Bake a test cookie to check the baking time and adjust accordingly based on your oven.
