i love nuts (and cookies)

still on this food network kick, and first thing i made with my brand new stand mixer was alton browns chewy chocolate chip cookies. same recipe, just added walnuts because i love nuts

ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter

2¼ cups bread flour

1 teasp kosher salt

1 teasp baking soda

¼ cup sugar

1¼ cups brown sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 tbsp milk

1½ teasp vanilla extract

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

2 cups walnuts

method

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

1. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.

2. Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts

3. Chill the dough, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

these were soooooo easy. i should probaly get back into taking pictures, but i was too busy eating. ( p.s. bread flour helps make the cookies chewy)

success! made a ton of cookies though. sad to say, had to throw some away...
