These Milk Chocolate Chunk and Walnut Cookies are a fabulously nostalgic bake. A super easy cookie recipe gets filled with lots of chocolate and walnuts for a texture contrast of dreams. The cookies end up with a slightly crisp edge and soft centre, the pinnacle of a good cookie for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is such an easy cookie recipe, and I love how fun it is to pull together. The final product is a crisp outside, soft centre cookie, packed with chunks of chocolate and walnut. The amount of vanilla extract may look like a lot when measuring but this adds that real nostalgic cookie taste! I find milk chocolate and walnut pair together so wonderfully, but there is obviously space to make these suit what you have to hand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is common on my site, this is a mega versatile recipe. You could absolutely sub the chocolate and nuts for alternatives but I feel this is the best combination. I prefer milk chocolate chunks but chips work well too! Similarly, feel free to change how big they are to make more or fewer. If you do this, however, make sure to adjust the bake time up or down accordingly. This is a great cookie dough to make ahead and keep in the fridge or freezer (wrap air tight) until needed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend a minimum of 30 minute chill time, but of course you could make ahead and let chill overnight to bake the next day. Chilling a cookie allows the butter to firm up again, preventing it from leaking during the baking process. This gives the cookies their thickness and non-cake-like texture. The brown sugar and vanilla are crucial to deep flavours and the gorgeous texture. No need to press down before baking. Bake as balls, and squish just a little just before baking for that Instagram look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
