1. Preheat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.

2. Cream together the butter, caster sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract.

3. Gradually add the eggs and mix until the mixture is fluffy.

4. In a separate bowl, sieve the flour, salt and baking powder together, then fold into the wet mixture gently.

5. Finally, add the chocolate and walnut pieces and bring the mixture together in your hands.

6. Rest the mixture for 1 hour in the fridge, then roll into small balls and place onto a baking tray with a 5 cm gap between each ball.

7. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes.

8. Cool on a cooling rack and store any that you don’t eat right away in an airtight container.

Hi, i've made these loads for the kids & family and they are fab. I have frozen the dough i didn't need each time. I rolled mine into a sausage shape wrapped in clingfilm, popped in a freezer bag & froze. When i've wanted to cook more i've just got it out of the freezer cut chunky cookie shapes from the dough defrosted it for 10mins then cooked as the instructions. they've been perfect each time!

Hi Chocolate fairy (great name!) - I'm afraid I can't quite remember what he said... but you could freeze the cookie dough for anything up to three months. Just make sure it's fully thawed before you bake it.

I saw Michael making these on Perfect and he said something about freezing the dough but I can't remember exactly what he said. I'd be very grateful for his tips!
