Chocolate Walnut Chip Cookies

This is my 3rd time trying a chocolate chip cookies recipe and I am satisfied with the result. The sweetness is just at the right level and it has the taste of Famous Amos cookies.


Ingredients:

100g butter
40g white castor sugar
40g brown castor sugar (normally tastes less sweet)
1 egg
1/2 stick of vanilla seed
170g all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1/8 teaspoon salt
150g chocolate chip (semi-sweet type)
60g chopped walnut

** I used Nestle's Cailler Cuisine Noir 64% chocolate bar and chop it into tiny pieces. To produce a batch of presentable cookies, do not over-chop your chocolate until too fine.


Method:

1. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Beat butter and sugar with mixer until light colour and fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla seed. Blend and beat well with mixer. Scrap the wall of mixing bowl with spatula.
4. Preheat oven to 190C.
5. Pour in all powder (flour, boking soda, salt) to butter-egg mixture and combine well with spatula.
6. Again, mix well of chocolate and walnut chips to the buttery dough above.
7. Scoop mixture with spoon and place on baking pan. Leave enough space between each cookie dough.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until cookies slightly turn brown.
9. Let cookies to cool and firm on cooling rack.
10. Store in air-tight container.
