These Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect amount of nutty and crunchy, and they satisfy every chocolate chip craving while being a bit more elevated in flavor.
» Chocolate lover? Also try our Small-Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies and these amazing Magic Bars.

Any nut lover who needs a way to work their favorite flavors into cookies should definitely try these cookies. The blend of chocolate to toasty walnut flavor is amazing. And these are seriously easy, so why not make a batch?
Of course, you could go for the classic chocolate chip cookie, but first give these a try. They’re a great twist on the normal everyday flavor. These would be a great accompaniment to any cup of coffee on a cold night, or a quick dessert for a summer barbeque. Truly great for any occasion.

Ingredients You Need
- Vegetable shortening
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar packed
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- All purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Chocolate chips
- Dark chocolate bar chopped
- Walnuts chopped
How to Make Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
First, preheat your oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper, or invest in a Silpat and use that to line your sheets. Silpats are super awesome to have on hand, as they can be used for a huge variety of things, and they create less waste than normal baking paper.
With a hand mixer, cream together the shortening and butter. Once that’s fluffy add the granulated white sugar and the brown sugar and mix until combined.


Add in the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder and soda, and salt, and mix that in.
Chop up your walnuts into whatever sized pieces you like. If you just want the flavor and none of the walnut crunch go for smaller pieces, or if you like nuts as much as we do you can leave them in bigger chunks. Add the walnuts and chocolate chips to the cookie dough and fold all of it in until it’s evenly distributed in the dough.


Scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet in small balls, leaving an inch or two of room in-between each cookie. Take a glass, or a fork or anything really, and smush the cookie dough down a bit. It should look like a flat circle of dough.


Bake for around ten minutes, or until golden brown, before pulling them out and letting them cool enough to eat.
Tips for Making Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are great to make ahead and keep in the freezer until you want a chocolatey fix! You can either make the dough and freeze in for later, although I’d recommend using it within the first month to two months after freezing it.


Or you can fully bake the cookies and freeze the cookies. You can then pull them out and heat them up in the microwave whenever you like.
If you don’t like walnuts, you can substitute with any nuts you like better. I personally am a cashew fanatic, and my people are peanut butter fiends. So we use cashews and peanuts in ours. But any nut will work, whether that’s walnuts, peanuts, almonds, etc.
To make a sweeter cookie, substitute the dark chocolate bar with a milk or white chocolate bar. Just know, if you’re using white chocolate it tends to melt a lot quicker and easier than other chocolate so be careful!
