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

I have made regular chocolate cookies frequently. The same goes for cookies with nuts. What is the next step? Combine both and double everything… double chocolate and double nuts because more is more.
Well, to be precise there is only one type of chocolate in those cookies but we also got cocoa powder which counts as the double chocolate. Right?! You could add two different types of chocolate, though. No problem. With the nuts it is easier. Walnuts and pecan are both do the cookie dough. Mmmmm… I love pecans. Have you ever had a pecan pie? I am asking my German friends here. It’s awesome!

When you are baking the cookies, make sure you are not baking them for too long. They should be firm around the edges, 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 dry cookies. Not even the nuts can save the cookies if they are too dry. So if they are a bit chewy in the middle – perfect!
When it comes to the chocolate and nuts – more is more. When it comes to baking them the motto is »less is more«. Have a nice weekend folks! And don’t forget to get all the ingredients you need. You want to make these cookies as quickly as possible…
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(12 cookies)
6 oz. (170g) semi-sweet chocolate* (70%), chopped
1/4 cup (60g) butter
2 medium eggs
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar*
1 tsp. vanilla extract*
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. espresso, cooled
1/4 cup (35g) all-purpose flour*
2 tsp. cocoa powder*
1/2 cup (80g) walnuts*, chopped
1/2 cup (80g) pecans*, chopped
(12 Cookies)
170g Zartbitterschokolade* (70%), gehackt
60g Butter
2 Eier (M)
100g brauner Zucker*
1 TL Vanille Extrakt*
1/4 TL Backpulver
1/4 TL Salz
1 EL Espresso, abgekühlt
35g Mehl (Type 405)*
2 TL Kakaopulver*
80g Walnüsse*, gehackt
80g Pekannüsse*, gehackt

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Add the chopped chocolate and butter to a microwave-safe bowl and carefully melt in short intervals 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. Next, 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 the dough in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). 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 the cookies for about 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 etwa 30-45 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Mit einem Cookie Scoop* (Eisportionierer) kleine Portionen mit genügend Platz auf die Bleche setzen und dann für etwa 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 dann auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen.
