Chocolate Chip Spiced Walnut Cookies
Don’t these cookies look delicious? I thought so too, that’s why I may or may not have eaten half the batch myself.
We won’t go there.
Anyway.
These cookies are some of the softest chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had, of course partially because I have learned to cook them for a little less time so they stay soft longer. It works, I promise. Probably the best advice I’ve ever gotten about baking cookies. Did you know that trick?
Simply remove your cookies just a minute or two earlier and allow them to cook on the pan, outside of the oven. For whatever reason it actually works. I do it with most cookie recipes. If it says bake for 10 minutes, I bake for about 8. I’m getting better at seeing what the cookie should look like when it is removed. That helps.
But anyway, about these cookies.
They have walnuts. And spices. And chocolate. Who doesn’t love chocolate?
Combine them all together and you have this wonderfully, beautiful cookie that is crave worthy. I promise.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter, softened
- ¾ cup of sugar
- 1½ cups of brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon of all spice
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of chocolate chips
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In one bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until creamy and smooth.
Beat the eggs one at a time, incorporating fully before adding the next.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, all three spices and the salt together.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, just until completely moistened.
Stir in the chocolate chips and the walnuts.
Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. If you want to remove early, remove at the 8 minute mark (the cookies will still be very soft, however they will look “cooked”. Allow them to rest on the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy warm!

these look great and I pinned your recipe to make. Also I added two recipes I found on my web search. I love the link up.
Thanks so much James! I’m hoping we find some fantastic recipes this way.
Thank you for adding some you found.
Oh, those do look so good. I doubt they would have last longer around here.
Yes, they were gone very quickly – but then I have a household full of teenagers and then hubby and I and we all love cookies, especially these.
Thanks!
I just…..love cookies, lol. These look so good and I love the unique flavors!
Cookies are like the ultimate comfort snack. Period. I could eat them daily, but I won’t. LOL
Thanks hon!
Nicole, I LOVE your stunning photos. The cookies look so beautiful and tantalizing, cooling on the wire racks, with the sun streaming in through the window. It’s so idyllic. I wish I were there with you, enjoying these cookies and washing it down with a big glass of cold milk. These cookies sound delicious – I love the mix of spices in them. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for the linky party too – so fun!
Aw, Nancy thank you. They looked really pretty cooling which is why I didn’t do much with them styling wise, I just liked how they looked on the racks. haha
I wish you were here too enjoying cookies with me. We’d have so much fun.
Thanks!
I love cookies ( especially chocolate ) =) these look great!
Thanks for hosting this great recipe linky party!
Melissa, me too! (love cookies)
Thank you so much! (and I hope you join in future linky parties!)
These cookies look and sound awesome! I love a soft cookie too and I always let my cookies rest for 5 minutes in the sheet pan after taking them out of the oven – they turn out perfect every time =)
The secret to a perfect cookie Peggy… and so many don’t realize it. Thank you so much!
Delicious!
Thank you Tasha
I always wondered why more people don’t spice up chocolate chip cookies. I love cinnamon in them and I’m dying to try your version with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice! They look perfect…chewy, crunchy and gooey!
I love to play with flavors in cookies, I’m glad I’m not alone. I mean, I love a good chocolate chip cookie, but I adore a chocolate chip cookie with some rich or unique flavors.
Thanks Lisa!
