Ingredients

1/2 cup salted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

→ Mix-ins

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Heat the butter for approximately 15 seconds until half-melted and half-soft.

Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter in a bowl. Mix until creamy.

Lightly whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until blended.

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking soda, mixing until fully combined.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

Roll the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven after 10 minutes for softer cookies to avoid overcooking.
