Chocolate chip walnut cookies

Who doesn’t love a good cookie. They are what my sweet tooth is weakest to. And over the years I’ve liked to bake them more and more and have been slowly getting better at them. These ones have a both chocolate chips and walnuts which I think is a really good combination.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of white sugar
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2teaspoons of hot water
• Half a teaspoon of salt
• 3 cups of flour
• 2 cups of chocolate chips
• 1 cup of walnuts (chopped or crushed)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350
• Mix together butter white sugar and brown sugar until smooth
• Beat the eggs in one at a time and add the vanilla
• Dissolve the baking soda in hot water add to batter with salt
• Mix in the flour chocolate and walnuts until doughy
• Drop the cookies onto a cookie sheet and let bake for 10 minutes or until browned at the edges

The first time I made these cookies they turned out a little too doughy but as I kept trying they kept getting better and better. My friends and family all enjoyed these cookies even my brother who doesn’t like cookies so anything but chocolate chips!
