These chewy Neiman Marcus cookies feature gooey chocolate chunks and toasted nuts, delivering a comforting treat with perfect texture and flavor. Easy to make with simple ingredients, they are ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165 grams) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (100 grams) chopped toasted nuts (walnuts and pecans)
  • 6 ounces (170 grams) chocolate chunks (semi-sweet and bittersweet)

Instructions

  1. Toast the nuts: Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped walnuts and pecans. Stir frequently for 5–7 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in pure vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the toasted nuts and chopped chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Portion the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each ball with your fingers.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look soft. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, for the perfect chewy texture. Toast nuts carefully over medium-low heat to avoid burning. Use chocolate chunks instead of chips for gooey pockets. Chill dough if too sticky or warm. Baking time affects chewiness: 10 minutes for gooier centers, 12 minutes for firmer cookies. Rotate pans halfway through baking for even color.
