How to Cook Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts

#1. Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a lined baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat. Set aside. 

#2. Mix the vegetable shortening and unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars in a large mixing bowl. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract until well blended. 

#3. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix to combine.

#4. Put in chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, and walnuts until thoroughly combined. You can use a stand mixer to speed up the process.
