Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

 

Sometimes it's the most simplest and straightforward cookie that will do, and this time it would be the classic chocolate chip. With no extraordinary ingredients and no chill time, except for a handful of chopped walnuts, its crunchy nutty golden texture has all the buttery sweetness you can hope for in such a colossal drop cookie.
