Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe Added:  7/20/2013 
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, cold, cubed
1 cup + 4 tsp brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, cold, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat butter on medium speed, about 1 minute. Add both sugars and continue to beat another 1-2 minutes, until sugar has been incorporated.

Gradually add eggs and vanilla, continue beating on medium speed until mixed. Reduce speed to medium-low and gradually add flour mixture until just a little bit of flour still remains. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts with a rubber spatula.

With medium or large cookie scoop, shape dough into balls, evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375F. Bake 12-13 minutes, or until light golden on top. Cool 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then remove to a wire rack.
Notes
Using medium scoop, each pan takes 14 minutes to bake. Total count = 4 pans x 15 cookies each. May use any chip flavor.

To freeze, roll into logs, wrap with wax paper then plastic wrap. Or, freeze cookie drops on baking sheet, then store in ice cream bucket with waxed paper separating layers. May also bake in 9x13 pan for 22-24 minutes. 

Great taste - love these cookies.
