📝 Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in the middle-upper and middle-lower portions. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.

cornstarch1 tablespoon

Using a stand mixer* fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined (about a minute or two). Because the butter is cold it won't look as soft and creamy as you might be used to, that's ok, keep beating it. Add egg and vanilla, beating until combined and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Beat in the flour mixture until fully combined. Add the chocolate chunks and walnuts, mixing until combined.

Scoop the dough into 1/4 cup portions and form into balls. Place on the lined baking sheets with several inches in between each dough ball. If desired, you can press a few chocolate chunks/chips onto the top of each dough ball (this makes a prettier cookie). For thicker cookies leave the dough balls mounded, for slightly thinner cookies flatten the dough balls just a bit.

Bake*** for ⏱️ 9-11 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to set and the centers are still underdone. The cookies should be so soft that if you tried to pick them up off the baking sheet they would fall apart. Place the baking sheets on cooling racks and cool completely, they will firm up as they cool. See recipe notes regarding optional step of shaping the cookies after baking.
