Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Place all the ingredients except the chocolate chips and walnuts in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix into a smooth dough.

3. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts to the dough and mix with a spoon.

4. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of dough on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat, spacing the cookies about ½ inch apart, until all the dough has been used. You should get about 21 cookies. Using your hands, flatten each cookie into a round shape.

5. Bake for 10 minutes. To check for doneness, gently insert a fork or toothpick into one cookie; if it comes out clean, they are ready. If not, return to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.

6. Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. The cookies will harden and become less crumbly as they cool.

7. Serve or store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
