Easy Double Chocolate Walnut Cookies Food

EASY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WALNUT COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silicon baking mat.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
• Add the butter, both sugars, and the vanilla to a large bowl. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy; 3 to 5 minutes. (Or, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment).
• Scrape the side and bottom of the bowl then add the egg. Mix on medium-low speed for 30 seconds. The egg will not be completely incorporated.
• Turn the speed to the lowest setting. Add the dry ingredients in thirds, beating until just combined; 1 to 2 minutes.
• With the mixer on low, add the walnuts and chocolate chips and mix until just incorporated.
• Drop 1 1/2 tablespoon-mounds, or use a medium cookie scoop, onto baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between the cookies to allow for spreading. Lightly press cookie dough mounds down towards the baking sheet.
• Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be dry and tops slightly cracked. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE WALNUT COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt onto a piece of parchment or wax paper. Set aside. In a mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined. On low speed gradually add the flour mixture and mix until incorporated. With a wooden spoon, mix in the walnuts. Add the melted chocolate and milk, and stir to combine well. Refrigerate dough until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch logs and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes more. Cut logs into 1-inch slices and roll in confectioners' sugar. Transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake until golden around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

• On cutting board, chop 5 1/2 ounces dark chocolate into 1/2-inch chunks; set aside.
• Roughly chop 3/4 cup walnuts and set aside.
• In separate bowl using an electric mixer, cream together butter with both sugars. Add the eggs, one at a time, to creamed mixture. Beat in 1 t pure vanilla extract.
• Slowly add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, beating well with electric mixer after each addition.
• Stir in chocolate chunks and walnut pieces using wooden spoon.
• Drop 1 1/2-inch balls of dough onto greased cookie sheet.
• Bake 9 minutes on middle oven rack.
• Let cookies cool for several minutes on cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack (they will be too soft when first removed from oven).

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WALNUT COOKIES

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add cake mix, eggs, and oil into a large bowl. Mix well with a large spoon until all ingredients are combined.
• Add chocolate chips and walnuts. Mix with a large spoon.
• Scoop dough using a cookie scoop, and place onto the parchment lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 7-10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll tablespoonfuls of cookie dough into balls and place them 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE WALNUT BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (waxed paper will not work, it will smoke.).
• In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the chocolate and sugar and grind until the chocolate is very fine. Set aside.
• In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl combine the eggs and the vanilla. Beat at medium speed to blend.
• Reduce the speed to low, add the chocolate and flour mixtures and mix until a stiff dough forms, adding the walnuts when about half mixed.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gather it together. Divide in half. Form each half into a log 12 inches long. (Give the logs plenty of space on both sides as the width of the logs doubles during baking.).
• Carefully transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
• Pat to even up the shapes. Bake until almost firm to the touch, about 50 minutes. (I have found that 40 minutes was sufficient).
• Let cool for 10 minutes. (Do not let it cool for longer as the logs will become brittle and more difficult to slice without breaking.).
• Leave the oven set at 300°F.
• Using a spatula, transfer the logs to a work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut on the diagonal into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Return the slices cut side down to the baking sheet.
• Bake for 25 minutes. (I baked mine 15 minutes and the biscotti were very crispy).
• Turn the slices over and bake until crispy and dry, about 25 minutes longer. (Again, I found 15 minutes to be good).
• Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP AND WALNUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or nonstick baking liner. Combine oats with flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, blend butter, sugars, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each until smooth and creamy. Stir in the dry ingredients and blend well. Add chips, nuts, and cranberries to the dough and mix, by hand if necessary, until ingredients are well blended.
• Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minute or up to three days. For best results, chill dough overnight. Spoon rounded spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minute or until cookies are light brown and still slightly soft in the middle.
• Cool briefly before removing cookies from baking sheet. Parchment paper or liner can be lifted with cookies to another surface for cooling. Store cookies in a sealed container.
