Giant walnut chocolate chunk cookies

Four bakery-size cookies loaded with walnuts, peanuts and two kinds of chocolate — thick, craggy and unapologetically huge.

Ingredients

  • 60 g cold butter, cubed
  • 140 g flour
  • 40 g white sugar
  • 60 g brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 9 g baking powder
  • 5 g ground cinnamon
  • 4 g salt
  • 150 g chocolate chips
  • 50 g 85% dark chocolate, chopped
  • 100 g walnuts
  • 50 g peanuts
  • Flaky salt to finish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Beat the cold butter with both sugars until the mixture is smooth — take your time, this step matters most.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and combine thoroughly without overworking the dough.
  3. Form 160 g dough balls — yes, that big.
  4. Freeze for 1 hour (or overnight) so they hold their tall shape in the oven.
  5. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 20–23 minutes, until golden outside and just set inside. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
