Pour this wet mixture into the dry mixture. ​Scrape out everything with a rubber spatula.
STEP 14
Mix with beater, starting on low speed until all dry is mixed in. Turn up to medium speed and continue to beat until well mixed. Dough will be thick. ​
STEP 15
Add in walnuts and chocolate chips, or any other add-in that you like! 
STEP 16
Stir in thoroughly by hand.​
STEP 17
Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.​
STEP 18
As cookie dough is in fridge, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
STEP 19
Scoop cookie dough onto parchment paper with small scooper.
STEP 20
Bake for 11 minutes in your preheated oven.
STEP 21
Remove from oven...cookies will be puffy and soft. ​They may appear under-cooked but they're not! The heat will continue to bake them after removing them from the oven.
STEP 22
Transfer to cooling rack immediately (be careful, cookies will be soft.)

Yay...Time to Eat!

These cookies are so good! Moist on the inside, slightly chewy, melty chocolate chips...mmmm. Don't forget the cold milk! 
Serve your cookies the same day you bake them for best quality. Store leftovers (funny, I know), on a plate tightly covered with plastic wrap.
Enjoy!​
