Extra-chocolaty Brownie Cookies
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'the chocolate cookbook' and that is where this recipe comes from. I made these on 6 Mar 2020, as written but used chocolate chips instead of chunks. These are excellent cookies, well liked by the family.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened, (1 block / 2 sticks)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 package semisweet chocolate chunks, or chips, 11-12 oz / 312-340 g)
- 2 cups walnuts, or pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F), line baking sheets with foil, for easy clean up.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together well.
- In another larger mixing bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, and sugar, beat with an electric until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well mixed.
- Add the flour mixture and mix with a large sturdy spoon until fully blended.
- Mix in the chocolate chunks and walnuts.
- Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets, flatten each slightly.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove from oven, cool on sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
