Maple Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts

September 1, 2018thetipsyhousewife

Baking is something I am just not good at. I don’t have the patience and I hate measuring. Because I have challenged my self to write recipes for all the food I create so that I can share them here, I have gotten better with paying attention to measurements. Because of that, I have tried to bake a few things that have actually turned out so I decided to try some cookies. I did some research of what I wanted in a chocolate chip cookie, did some experimentation and came up with what I think is a great cookie. Slightly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. If you make them, I think these Maple Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts may be your new favorite cookie.

Maple Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts

Here is what you need to gather:

  • 2 Sticks of Butter, Softened
  • 2 Eggs, Room Temp
  • 1/2 C of White Sugar
  • 3/4 C of Brown Sugar
  • 2 T of Vanilla Extract
  • 4 T of Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 of a Bar of Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 3 C of White Flour
  • 1 t of Salt
  • 3 T of Corn Starch
  • 1 t of Baking Soda
  • 1 Bag of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2 C of Crushed Walnuts

To make the cookies first hat your oven to 350 degrees.  I also like to use a Silpat Oven Mat for my cookies. I think they just come out better and more evenly cooked. You can find them on Amazon, they are worth the money.

The steps are as follows:

  • Cream the butter with the two sugars, maple syrup and vanilla.
  • Combine and then beat on high with your hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Next, add in the cream cheese and combine well.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and combine each egg into the mixture before adding the second.
  • Add in the cornstarch, then the salt, then the baking soda and combine well.
  • Add the flour in 1/2 C at a time until it is all incorporated.
  • Finally, add the chocolate chips and the walnuts and mix well.
  • Maple Cream Cheese Cookie Dough
  • The dough when it is done.
  • Drop the dough by the spoonful onto your cookie sheets. I used about two tablespoons of dough for each cookie and they came out the perfect size.
  • dough, silpat mat, cookies
  • Use about two tablespoons of the dough for perfect cookies.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, check your oven, but the cookies should just be slightly brown on top when done.
  • Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for ten minutes.
  • chocolate chip cookies

These cookies came out so chewy with a slight hint of maple and a great crunch from the walnuts. They are a perfect Fall treat for after school or to have with your morning coffee. Plus they made my house smell like a candle. I think you will enjoy them. this has given me confidence to possibly try some more baking recipes. Maybe a Pineapple Upside Down Cake? I would appreciate any recipes you want to share with me! Leave them in the comments below!
