Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Butter
Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow it to cook until it turns a light golden color and gives off a nutty aroma. Strain it through a fine sieve to remove any solids, then let it cool completely.
Step 2: Mix Sugars and Eggs
In a mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the eggs and whisk until the mixture becomes creamy and slightly foamy. Slowly add the cooled melted butter and mix until fully combined.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
Sift the flour and baking soda into the wet mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together. Then, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly throughout the dough.
Step 4: Shape and Chill
Using a kitchen scale, divide the dough into 7 equal portions, about 100 g each. Roll them into balls, place them on a tray, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. For the best texture, refrigerate for an additional 2 hours.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Preheat the oven to 180°C (about 350°F). Place the dough balls on a lined baking tray, leaving space between each one. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool completely before decorating.
Step 6: Decorate Your Way
In a small bowl, blend the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth to create a simple frosting. Spread or pipe it on the cooled cookies.
Add toppings based on your taste:
- For a fruity version: top with berries and a touch of strawberry jam.
- For a crunchy finish: sprinkle with crushed cookies, roasted peanuts, and a drizzle of your favorite spread.
- For a chocolate lover’s option: melt dark chocolate and drizzle it on, then finish with chocolate sprinkles and fresh raspberries.
Helpful Tips
Plan Ahead:
These cookies taste best when the dough has had time to rest in the fridge. This helps enhance flavor and achieve the perfect chewy texture.
Mix and Match:
Customize each cookie with a different topping combo so every bite is a surprise. Great for parties or sharing with friends.
Storage:
Store undecorated cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Decorated cookies are best enjoyed within 2 days.
