Walnut Chocolate Chips Cookies

I didn’t manage to bake a lot due to my hectic work life prior to Chinese New Year. Mum baked most the cookies at home and I’m still in the midst of perfecting my baking skills.
Here’s one of my all-time favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe and I must insist that you use good quality chocolate brand like Hershey or Van Houten. There’s no compromise to make the best chocolate chip cookies by substituting with low grade chocolate. You will know it once you have tasted it.

INGREDIENTS
125g butter, melted at room temperature
100g brown sugar
175g biscuit flour or medium protein flour
½ tsp baking soda
130 g crushed walnut, toasted
80g semi-sweet chocolate chip
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla essence

METHOD
1. Mix the flour and baking soda evenly in a medium bowl. You may sift the flour if you want a finer texture biscuits.
2. Beat the butter and sugar using a hand electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
3. Add in the vanilla essence and break the egg into the batter. Mix with low speed until combined.
4. Fold in flour slowly until it becomes soft look-alike dough.
5. Mix the walnuts and chocolate chips into the dough evenly.
6. Spoon the dough one inch apart onto baking tray lined with parchment or baking paper.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 190 Celcius for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
