Easy Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

Easy Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies recipe that is super simple to make, no chilling required! Only a few ingredients to just mix, bake and EAT!

Fresh baked cookies are really hard to beat. I almost always have fresh baked cookies in my cookie jar: Best Ever Sugar Cookies, Pecan Sandies, Chocolate Volcano Cookies  and my famous Chocolate Chip Biscotti are a few of my favorites.

We also love Chewy Chunky Cookie Bars filled chocolate, toffee and walnuts and these Cookie Bars from South Your Mouth are also pretty irresistible!

When my folks come to visit, they always stop by Sam’s Club and bring us goodies. Last time, they brought a giant bag of walnuts and I have been obsessed. I love making my mom’s  candied walnuts to snack on and adding them to everything including these easy chocolate chip cookies.

How to Store Chocolate Chip Cookies

The best way to store cookies is in an airtight container or cookie jar with an airtight seal. Cookies will stay fresh up to 3 days. After that you can freeze them in zip top freezer bags or freezer-safe container for longer storage, if desired.
