Treat yourself to homemade chocolate chip walnut cookies. It’s the perfect combination of sweetness and crunch.

You can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies with walnuts and a hot cup of tea.

I’m a big fan of cookies, so I often make them over cakes since I’m the only one who eats them.

That and cookies are dead easy to make and don’t cost as much as buying them from the bakery.

You can’t compare homemade cookies to bagged cookies, either.

Growing up, my mum often made cookies (biscuits) because she didn’t fancy buying them at the grocery store.

My mum used to make cookie baskets for her friends when she visited for tea, and that was her way of saying thanks for having her and dad over for a cuppa tea.

I can tuck into a pack of McVities Milk Chocolate Hobnobs any day of the week (sorry, mum), but buying them in Canada costs a mere fortune.

I’ll have to wait until we go back to the UK so I can load up on some good eats.

I joke with my sister that we will hang out in the grocery store to pick out all the foods I miss, and she thinks it’s hilarious.

It’s one of those things where you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.

Easy Baking For Beginners

So, being the guy who loves to cook occasionally, I put on the baker’s hat to whip up a special treat for myself.

I don’t know what it is about thin, crispy cookies, but they don’t give me as much pleasure as thick cookies.

When I bite into a homemade cookie, I want to sink my teeth into it.

I want to taste the chocolate slide through my teeth as I bite and then melt in my mouth.

The walnuts in this cookie recipe offer the right amount of crunch to complement the soft, chewy texture.

Perfect any time of day, these easy-to-make cookies won’t last long.

Quality Cookie Ingredients

One thing I like about making any cookie is that it’s not rocket science.

I find cookies simple to make, and few ingredients are unfamiliar to the average household pantry unless you get into sophisticated gourmet cookie recipes.

My Cookie Baking Secret

You will notice that in today’s recipe, the ingredient list is straightforward and will produce a thick, soft chocolate chip walnut cookie, provided you don’t overcook the cookie.

I remove my cookies a minute or two early and let them finish baking on the tray.

That is my secret to making soft cookies because many people cook them for far too long, and they get hard and crispy, which I don’t care for.

If you do, knock yourself out and cook them until you get the crunch you desire.
