Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly butter them.
-
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually beat in the dark brown sugar and light brown sugar until well combined and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground coriander (if using).
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Fold in the coarsely chopped walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
-
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up and enhance flavor.
-
Drop rounded 1/4 cup portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set but still soft.
-
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note
Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.
Dough Freezing: You can freeze the dough balls before baking. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
Ingredient Substitution: If you prefer a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or substitute with additional chocolate chips or toasted oats. For a richer flavor, use half butter and half cream cheese.
Tip: For extra chewy cookies, ensure your brown sugar is packed tightly into the measuring cup. Chilling the dough is crucial as it prevents excessive spreading and concentrates the flavors.
Note on Coriander: Ground coriander adds a subtle citrusy and warm note. If you are sensitive to spice flavors, you can omit it without affecting the texture significantly.
