Ingredients

1.75 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
0.5 cup white sugar
0.75 cup semisweet chocolate chips
0.5 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat your oven to a gentle 300°F (150°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture in two additions, then fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls by rolling or scooping, and arrange them on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
