Description

Chocolate lovers get a double dose of deliciousness in these irresistible cookies. Cocoa powder gives the dough its deep chocolate flavor, while semisweet chocolate chips create little pockets of melty richness throughout. Chopped walnuts add a satisfying nutty crunch that balances all that chocolate beautifully. 

Baked just until set, these cookies are wonderfully rich without being complicated to make. Add the optional sprinkle of sugar before baking for a little extra sweetness, then enjoy them with a cold glass of non-dairy milk, alongside your afternoon coffee, or straight from the cookie jar whenever a serious chocolate craving strikes.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cacao baking powder (we like Hershey's)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegan butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350° and line a Large Baking Sheet (or two) with Parchment Paper.

     

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

     

  3. 3

    Using an Electric Hand Mixer, cream together the softened butter, vanilla, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

  4. 4

    Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

  5. 5

    Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, until all is combined.

     

  6. 6

    Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.

     

  7. 7

    Using your hands, scoop about two tablespoons of dough and form it into a ball. Gently press down with the palm of your hand to flatten the dough slightly, then place it on the baking sheet.
