Double Chocolate Walnut Cookies
Served along with Apple Crumble Bars these cookies pack a power punch of decadent chocolate. Another favorite from Tea Time Magazine!
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 salt
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt – set aside.
Cream butter, brown sugar and sugar till fluffy. Add and combine egg and vanilla, gradually add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate and walnuts.
Bake at 375° for approximately 8-9 minutes, till edges are crispy. Cool on baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to cooling rack. I like to line my baking sheet with baking liners.
Heat 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream. Add approximately 1/2 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Let stand till chocolate melts. Whisk till thick and smooth. Frost top of cookie & sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
