    Guess what?! It is Cookie Friday again! Yay! What can you expect today? Plain awesome cookies. With a lot of chocolate and nuts – double chocolate and double nuts… Sounds good, right? :)

    I have made regular chocolate cookies quite often already – same for cookies with nuts. What is the next step? Combine both and double everything… double chocolate and double nuts because more is more :P

    Well – to be precise there is only once chocolate in those cookies but also cocoa powder which counts as the double chocolate :) With the nuts it is easy – walnuts and pecan nuts. Mmmmm… I love pecan nuts – have you ever had a pecan pie? Awesome!

    When you are baking the cookies, make sure you are not baking them too long – they should be firm on the outside, but the center should still be soft when you take them out of the oven. If you bake them too long, you will end up with super dry cookies. Not even the nuts can save the cookies if they are too dry ;P So if they are a bit chewy in the middle – perfect!

    So – have a nice weekend folks! Hope you don’t have to sweat too much with that heat today and tomorrow :)

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    (12 cookies)

    6 oz. (170g) semi-sweet chocolate (72%), chopped

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch
    1. Add the chopped chocolate and butter to a microwave-safe bowl and carefully melt in 20 second steps in the microwave until you get a nice smooth mixture. Set aside to cool down a bit. Chop the nuts and set aside.

    2. Add the eggs and brown sugar to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, baking powder and salt and mix in well. Add the melted chocolate and espresso and mix in well. Mix the flour and cocoa powder in a separate bowl and then add to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix in until just combined. Do not overmix! Fold in the chopped nuts and place in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes.

    3. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside. Use a cookie scoop and place small amounts of dough on the baking sheets – leave enough space in between. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The cookies are done, when firm, but the center should still be a bit soft. If you bake them too long, they will turn out too dry. Take out of the oven and let cool down on a wire rack.

    1. Die gehackte Schokolade und Butter in eine mikrowellensichere Schüssel geben und in kurzen Intervallen vorsichtig schmelzen. Das Ergebnis sollte eine homogene Schokoladensoße sein. Zur Seite stellen und abkühlen lassen. Die Nüsse hacken und ebenfalls zur Seite stellen.

    2. Die Eier und braunen Zucker in eine große Schüssel geben und auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist. Vanille Extrakt, Backpulver und Salz zugeben und gut verrühren. Das Mehl mit dem Kakao in einer separaten Schüssel vermischen und dann zur Schüssel mit den restlichen Zutaten nur kurz verrühren. Die gehackten Nüsse unterheben und dann für 30-45 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    3. Den Backofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Mit einem Cookie-Portionierer kleine Portionen mit genügend Platz auf die Bleche setzen und dann für 12-14 Minuten im Ofen backen. Die Cookie sind fertig, wenn sie außen schon fest sind und in der Mitte noch weich. Nicht zu lange backen, sonst werden sie trocken. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und dan auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
