Thick, gooey Levain-style chocolate walnut cookies loaded with dark chocolate chunks and toasted nuts. Bakery-worthy results right from your kitchen.
3¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
1½ cups chopped walnuts, toasted
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat cold butter and sugars until just combined.
Mix in eggs one at a time.
Gradually add dry ingredients to form a thick dough.
Fold in chocolate chunks and walnuts.
Form 8–10 large dough balls (about 6 oz each). Place spaced on baking sheet.
Bake 9–11 minutes until golden but soft. Cool on pan 10–15 minutes.
Don’t flatten the cookies. Freeze dough balls for longer storage. Toast walnuts for better flavor.
