Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 130 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Walnuts (chopped)
- 100 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the chopped bittersweet chocolate and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture, stirring until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips (if using) to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. This ensures a fudgy texture.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these fudgy chocolate walnut cookies as an indulgent treat, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
