Decadent Chocolate Walnut Chip Cookies

Ingredients

- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking soda until well combined. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened salted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

4. Add Vanilla and Egg:
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the creamed butter mixture. Beat until just combined, making sure not to overmix.

5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.

6. Fold in Nuts and Chips:
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Shape the Cookies:
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

8. Bake the Cookies:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

9. Cool and Enjoy:
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Decadent Chocolate Walnut Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
