Brownie Cookies with Walnuts
Brownie Cookies with Walnuts are exactly what they sound like. Brownies that are in cookie form for when you want something a little different. They are packed with chocolate chips and walnuts, perfect for that chocolate craving.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, sugar, espresso powder, butter and vegetable oil.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mix until incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix until almost completely incorporated. Add in the chocolate chips and walnuts and mix until combined and there are no more streaks of flour. Do not over mix your dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out cookie dough balls about 1-2 tablespoon in size. Place onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. If you want flatter cookies, you can press them down.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the middle still looks slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes on they baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week on the counter.
Notes
- If you don't like nuts, you can always add more chocolate chips.
- These cookies do not spread because of the amount of nuts and chocolate chips, if you prefer you can decrease the amount of the mix-ins and they will spread a little more. If you don't want to decrease the mix-ins, you can decrease the flour to 1 cup. I've done it this way as well and liked both versions.
- You can freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Normally I like to eat cookies frozen, but with these you want to thaw before enjoying. They are a little too thick to enjoy right out of the freezer.
