Ingredients
170g butter

85g granulated sugar
1 large egg or 2 small
2 tsp vanilla essence
225g plain flour
2 tsp cornflour
1 tsp baking powder

100g chopped walnuts
Method
1. Heat the oven to 180C, Gas 5. Line 2 baking tray with greaseproof paper.
2. Cream the butter and the sugar together until nice and creamy - this will take about 5 minutes in a mixer or if using hand whisk
3. Add the egg and vanilla then continue to whisk for a further 2 minutes.
4. Sieve together the flour, cornflour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Add the chocolate chips or chunks and walnuts to the flour, then add to the butter and sugar mixture then use a wooden spoon to mix in well and combine together.
5. Scoop out dessert spoonfuls of the mixture and space them out on the baking tray, making sure they have space to spread - this mix will make about 18 good size cookies.
6. Bake the cookies for about 10 – 12 minutes. Once they are baked, allow to cool (if you can wait long enough). They are delicious with a cup of tea.
