📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cream the butter, both sugars, and salt in a large bowl with a stand or electric handheld mixer for about ⏱️ 5 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

4
Add in the chocolate chips and walnuts until evenly combined.
5
Scoop the dough into 8 equal portions (roughly 5 ½oz/160g) and place in a single layer in an airtight container. Refrigerate until firm, at least ⏱️ 2 hours or up to 4 days (The unbaked dough can be frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature for an hour before baking.)
6
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
7
Place 4 balls of dough evenly spaced on the baking sheet without flattening. This big ball of dough will yield you that thick iconic Levain bakery cookie.
8
Bake on a center rack for ⏱️ 20-22 minutes, until cookies are lightly golden. NOTE: In my oven, I get the best results when I bake one tray at a time.
9
Let cool for at least ⏱️ 20 minutes before eating. These cookies are best eaten the day they are baked. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
