Ingredients:

• 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 2 tbsp cornstarch
  
  

• 1 tsp baking powder
  
  

• ¾ tsp baking soda
  
  

• 1 tsp sea salt
  
  

• 1 cup butter, softened
  
  

• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  
  

• ½ cup white granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 eggs
  
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 2 cups walnuts, coarsely chopped
  
  

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  
  

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
   
   

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
   
   

3. In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
   
   

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
   
   

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until fully combined.
   
   

6. Gently fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips using a spatula.
   
   

7. Use an ice cream scoop to form large cookie dough portions (about 3 scoops). Shape each portion into a giant cookie.
   
   

8. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
   
   

9. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is soft. Do not overbake.
   
   

10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before enjoying.
