Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (melted)
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (finely chopped (walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts))
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional for flavor boost)
  • 1 cup milk or white chocolate chips (if preferred)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Mix in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the creamed butter and sugar. Stir well until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Melt dark chocolate chips and fold them into the cookie dough along with heavy cream for a creamy consistency.
  5. Finely chop mixed nuts and gently fold them into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.
  8. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
