Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Yum Yums Chocolate Nut Cookies with a cold glass of milk or share with friends and family!
