Ultimate Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies 終極巧克力核桃餅乾 (比濃情巧克力還要厲害)







Ingredients: (approx. 2 dozen)
1 1/3 cups flour
2/3 cup cocoa
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 cups (1 1/3 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup (4.5 oz) bittersweet chocolate (cut in pieces)
1 cup walnut coarsely chopped

Procedure:
Mix flour, cocoa, baking soda. Mix melted butter (I used salted butter instead) and sugar with electric mixer, then add in eggs and mix well. Add in the dry ingredient and keep mixing. When well mixed, stir in the walnut and chocolate pieces. Drop in dough with 1 inch apart on a butter-coated plate. Bake in 325 degree Farenheit for 20-25 minutes.

Note: If like chewy in the middle, can adjust temperature to 350 F and reduce baking time to 15-20 minutes. (But careful not to burn the surface). In this recipe, I also cut down the amount of sugar to 1 cup (instead of 1 1/4 cup) and butter to 1 1/4 stick (instead of 1 1/2). I think the sweetness is perfect with reduced sugar, but still a bit too buttery for me. Next time I would try 1 stick of butter instead. Also, walnut might taste better if toasted before baking.

Comment: Very very chocolate satiated! & not very sweet.

  1. This recipe can be modified into brownie. I used 3 eggs instead of 2. Add a bit of Cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Slightly reduce the amount of vegetarian butter. The butter is not entirely natural. Next time will switch back to natural butter. This is the first cake that I made in my own room. Will make more baking attempts.

  2. by the way, the amount of sugar is reduced to 8/10 cup. Baking time is increased up to 30-40 minutes at 150C.
