Ingredients
  

  • 250 gm butter softened
  • 100 gm caster sugar fine
  • 180 gm brown sugar
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 400 gm bread flour or similar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon corn flour heaped cornstarch
  • 250 gm chocolate chips
  • 150 gm walnut pieces

Instructions
 

  • Beat the butter just till soft and add the two sugars till well combined.This doesn't need to be fluffy like a cake, just soft and combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla. Mix well and scrape down the sides.
  • Mix the flour baking.powder and soda. Add the flour and mix in a little before adding the chocolate and nuts and mixing until the dough is combined.
  • Divide the dough into 12 pieces, then roll it, nice big hefty ones, into rough balls. Put them onto the tray or into a container and freeze till firm. Also you can chill them in the fridge overnight, but I like the quick freezing method
  • Bake for 16 ( refrigerated) to 20 minutes ( frozen) or till golden on the outside and nice and soft inside.

Notes

NOTES: The mixture needs to be very cold before rolling into balls. This is so that it cooks on the outside nice and crispy and stays doughy in the middle.
Make sure the balls are nice and rough and round.
