Jumbo Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies
Almost everyone knows what a chocolate chip cookie tastes like, but not everyone has tasted Metropolitan Market’s famous chocolate chip cookies. Their cookies stood out from all the others. They were slightly crispy on the outside, but super soft in the middle. And they were loaded with fine quality Belgium chocolate chips and toasted walnuts. Yum! Ever since I took my first bite into these amazing cookies, they have been my favorite to this day.
I can go on all day talking about how great this cookie was, but there was one downside. They were slightly pricey, so I decided to make my own. Below you will find my version of their cookie in this delicious jumbo chocolate chip walnut cookies recipe.
Tips for making Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies
I recommend buying a large cookie scoop for these cookies because they cook better in larger scoops. If you don’t have a large cookie scoop, use a quarter measuring cup to measure out each scoop. If you live near a metropolitan market here in Washington, I highly recommend buying Belgium chocolate from there. They actually sell the chocolate they use in these wonderful cookies. The secret to getting a soft center is using shaved chocolate. I just buy the block and chop it really finely. I’ve experimented with this cookie for about 2 years now, and I think I have finally gotten as close to the real deal as it possibly gets.

Hi! Great cookies!! I make them frequently. My only challenge is the amount of baking time. I just made a batch in my convection oven at 375 degrees F and needed to bake at least 15 minutes to get them done (but with little color). I shut the oven off and let them sit for 3 more minutes to brown. Am I interpreting the recipe incorrectly?
Thanks-
Ann

Hi Ann, I am glad you love these cookies! Yes, you got it right, you want to initially bake the cookies for at least 10 minutes or add more bake time if they need to be browned more. Every oven runs a little different so that’s why I mentioned it 🙂 Let me know if that helps!
