Maple Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies

There is something so irresistible about the smell of maple, maple syrup heated on the stove and poured over some hot waffles or pancakes…   

Oh my god… that is the smell that dreams are made of!

Now today I’m sharing these fabulous cookies.

You will make batch after batch of these beauties!

They have become one of the most requested batches of cookies here, and I’m sure they will be in your home too.

I’m a huge maple walnut fan…

• Maple Walnut cut out Cookies
• Wet Walnuts, these are so yummy!
• Maple Walnut Cupcakes
• Maple Banana Walnut Cake
• Buttermilk Pancake Cupcakes with Maple Frosting

to mention a few of my favorites.

So the combination of chocolate chips cookies baking int he oven and the aroma of the maple flavor combined to make an outstanding combo!

I LOVE… mini chocolate chips, big cookies, and big flavors!

I used a large 3 tablespoon scoop to make these and the batch of dough made 22 cookies.

These cookies are full of mini chips!

I just LOVE big cookies, don’t you?!?

And the flavor in these is incredible, the maple, the walnuts, the chips, and the oatmeal make the cookies nice and dense and full of flavor!

If you want THICK cookies use bread flour and baked at 375°. Two tablespoon size cookie dough scooped, baked for 9-11 minutes.

This recipe can be made with walnuts or without.
