Blue Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies
April 16, 2008 |
Blue Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Great Book of Chocolate
So, here’s my chocolate chip cookie thing. The nuts are always well-toasted and they’re always finely chopped–as in, some will be the size of petite peas but many will be more like powder. What this gets you is a cookie filled with all of the awesome flavor of nuts, as well as the extra crunch, without the nuts actually interrupting your chocolate chip experience. Nobody wants their chocolate experience interrupted. Half the people who try them will have no idea there are nuts at all in there–thus hushing the nut haters–but they will know that there is something undeniably better.
As for the name, David got the recipe from the now-shuttered
Makes 20 cookies, or more if you use one of these tiny cookie scoops.
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (120 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) (115 grams) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch (1cm) pieces
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups (175 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt or 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (Deb option)
1 1/2 cups (200 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup (130 grams) walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped
Adjust the oven rack to the top third of the oven and preheat to 300F (150C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat the sugars and butters together until smooth. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and baking soda.
Stir together the flour and salt, then mix them into the batter. Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Scoop the cookie dough into 2-tablespoon (5cm) balls and place 8 balls, spaced 4 inches (10cm) apart, on each of the baking sheets.
Bake for 18 minutes, or until pale golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

~Lindsey
This sounds good! I think I could do this for sure…I’ll let you know how it goes.
Delicious cookies for sure, what about oatmeal in the mix?
well written recipe - thanks, I’ll do some experimental cooking tonight
“Blue Chip Cookies” sounds delicious and it probably is. I’ll see if I can make it.
I like any chocolate item. Thanks for your nice Recipe.
I am very much fond of chocolate and chocolate cookies.I think the recipe of the chocolate cookie looks to be good one.
Cookies are my favorite sweets for breakfast…
Your recipe sounds good. I will test it later for sure..
Thank you so much for this recipe, I made these cookies last night and everyone loved them! A++!!
I like chocolate chip cookies a lot. The worst thing is i need to do hours sport after eat the cookie.
You do a great job, i like this and i will try to make it when i have time
Making cheese cake is one of my hobby.
Before mixing the thing up, I need to drop a little lemon juice info them since it can remove some of the ‘fatty feeling’ of the cake.
Needn’t cookies also do this step too?
Gosh that is more that a recipe, i love how well you explain the sensory experience of eating that cookie. I am very tempted to go and bake up a batch right now!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I like this cooks and I will try to make it when I have enough time.
Typical that run into a blog with recipes for delicious stuff when I’m hungry and can’t eat chocolate :razz:. Joking of course(but I really am hungry at the moment) and thank you for nice recipe.
I was trying to lay off the chocolate, but these sound really nice, thanks for sharing the recipe.
I think the recipe of the chocolate cookie looks to be good one. Thank you so much for this recipe.
Yummy sounds good. I will deffinitly try this
Those sound good, but I guess I’d be inclined to use an artificial sweetener (like splenda) instead to save on the calories. Could also try the Andes Mints in there instead of normal chocolate chips to make them a little more distinct.
Excellent. its so simple I gues even I can make em, Thx for the share
Hm, as I can see it, its a bit different then the original recipe. Its easy to make one for yourself actually. Just replace something you dont like with something you like. I changed vanilla to chocolate
Thanks for putting this up, it looks very easy thanks to your simple and effective instructions.
btw great blog keep it up!
I am interested to make your chocolate chip cookie.Thanks for detail.
those cookies sound rad-badical. i want some!
As Rachael would say Yum-Oh!
- the moderators of this blog would like to make note that Rachel Ray is not our favorite cooking show persona, and do not like posting her lame quotes on this blog, but in blog spirit, we are going to go ahead and let this comment slide.
I have made cookies in so long. These sound fun. Once exam or over, and I move back home for the summer (in college now) I’ll give this a try.
Looks like a unique twist on the old chocolate chip cookie! I’m making these this weekend!
I still want a recipe for turning the chocolate chips in my cookies blue! hehe
Anyways I really like the idea of grinding up the nuts to get rid of the texture. Although…some of the time texture is a good thing
very nice post about chocolite chip cookies with nuts. this recipe is something we should all try right away!
Thank you for the recipe! I never thought about toasting the nuts before although I think I saw that in only one other recipe.
Sounds good! I’ll have to give this a try!
This looks good. I actually don’t mind the nuts getting in the way of my chocolate experience. Not a nut hater here. Maybe this will be a good compromise recipe for my family. I like nuts, wife and kids don’t.
I will also have to try out the pudding for diabetics recipe.
This is a very very nice recipe. I love these cookies.
These sound delicious! I am going to have to give them a try!
Great Idea. I’m not a big nut fan in my cookies but I bet by making them that small it just adds flavor without killing the chocolate goodness.
This sounds like it’d totally work. Only thing is I’d switch to white macadamia nuts and hope they come out delicious.
Cookies are my favorite sweets for breakfast…
Your recipe sounds good. I will test it later without fail. If chocolates are added then its even more tastier.
I like chocolate very much. This recipe looks delicious and invite my taste, anyway. I wanna try it. Thanks for giving this great recipe.
Seem not as difficult as i think, i might try to make it by myself, wish i can make it.
Wow cool tips for making the Cookies
I wish i’ve bump to this post sooner. It would be perfect for Mother’s Day. Sounds delicious indeed. I’m starving..
I’ll try making this for my nephew this weekend. He love’s cookies.
Hmmm, sounds wonderful!

Ough!! What’s more yummy than a chocolate chip cookie??? Haha… love to have walnuts in cookies! Thnx for sharing ^_^
Dude!! That’s what I’m asking my wife and kids to give me for Father’s Day, a batch of Blue Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies. (If I can wait that long.)
I actually don’t mind the nuts getting in the way of my chocolate experience.I will test it later for sure..
i m going to try this recipe, but i like it too much..chocolate
Sounds good. Maybe the baking soda is the only one I would think about… But I will try it!

Its difficult to beat a good chocolate chip recipe, and yours sure looks like a winner! I am definately giving this a go tomorrow, thanks for uncovering this recipe.
I absoloutely love chocolate chip cookies. Thanks for the recipe I’ll be using it all teh time. Hope I don’t gain too much weight!
wow! yummy! I am going to make this recipe.
When I make cookies, I like to use half the butter and about 2/3 the sugar. I like your idea of getting the nut flavor in the cookie without getting too much of the nut texture - they are two very different things and both are valuable in a cookie. Thanks!
I like the nutty texture in cookies, but there are other things that would be better with just the flavor. Good idea, thanks.
This is very cool looking.I think the taste is also good.Thanks for the recipe.
Blue chip Cookies? I was expecting to see something about Blue chip technology! Alas they are normal cookies but they sound great.
Is it new type of chocolate?I haven’t yet heard this name.Thanks for the information.
Being as a diabetic, it is a good recipe.
Not convinced about the nuts though, nuts are great, but I always prefer the non crunchy texture when it comes to anything with chocolate.
Thank you so much for this recipe i like it
