Levain-inspired 'Less Sweet' Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookies
Makes 4 Jumbo Cookies (or 8 Regular-sized ones)
I made a half-batch but you can double the recipe for a full batch.
Ingredients
-56g (1/4 cup) butter, slightly softened
-60g (1/4 cup + 2 tsp) dark brown sugar (optional: light brown sugar) Tip: If you prefer 'original' sweetness, can add up to 100g (1/2 cup) sugar
-30g (2 tbsp) granulated white sugar
-1 egg (cold temp)
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional - I didn't add any)
-150g (1 1/4 cups) all purpose-flour (sifted)
-1 tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1/4 tsp salt
-125g (1 cup) walnuts (break into quarters by hand or roughly chop into desired size)
-160g (1 cup) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Preparation
1. Place rack in the middle of the oven, then preheat oven to 400°F (if using a toaster oven, you may preheat later).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Instructions
1. Beat the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until combined and smooth (approx 5 minutes).
2. Add egg until fully incorporated (you may need to use your spatula to fully combine). Tip: If adding vanilla extract, add after egg.
3. Pour all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the mixture.
4. Mix, starting on low speed, until combined (remember not to overmix).
5. Take out the mixing bowl from the stand mixer (if using), and stir in walnuts and chocolate chips until it's evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Divide batter into four (or eight if you doubled the recipe or want smaller cookies) and roughly shape with hand (Tip: Don't touch the top! Just shape the bottom briefly until rounded, then place it down onto the lined baking sheet).
7. For Levain's classic gooey centre: Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes / For a crispy outer and soft, crumbly centre: Bake at 400°F for 15-17 minutes.
(Tip: This setting is for the large-sized cookies, if you're making smaller ones, bake it for less time)
