Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Cookies are an absolute MUST while camping. Whether you’re packing lunch for your day trip or need some snacks ready to go at the site, be sure to have some cookies on the menu. Most children have a cookie obsession and my son is certainly no exception. He adores these walnut chunk cookies and I just know you will too.

While everyone loves a classic chocolate chip cookie, I decided to amp it up a bit by adding walnuts. But don’t stop there! You can easily add nuts, seeds, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and whatever else your heart desires for extra nutrition. If you ask me, a hearty cookie is a happy cookie.

Baking Tip: bake and freeze these cookies ahead of time to avoid stress-baking the week of your camping trip. Grab the frozen bag of goodies when you go camping and you’re good to go. Plus, they help to keep your cooler cold!
