Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, cold
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 2 cups walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Avoid overbaking to keep the centers gooey.
- If you prefer smaller cookies, reduce baking time by 1–2 minutes.
