Description

Learn how to make the famous Amos Cookies at home with this easy recipe. These crunchy chocolate chip cookies are packed with mini chocolate chips and optional walnuts for a delightful treat.


Ingredients

    Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Stir in chocolate and nuts: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and walnuts if using.
  6. Bake: Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • For that signature Famous Amos crunch, bake until the cookies are a deep golden brown.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • For extra flavor, chill the dough for 1 hour before baking.
