GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE DROP COOKIES



Grandma's Chocolate Drop Cookies image

Calling all chocolate lovers and novice bakers: This one's for you. These chocolate drop cookies are straight from grandma's recipe box, but they definitely don't require her wealth of baking expertise to make yourself. Drop cookies, made from soft dough and dropped onto a baking sheet in balls, are a simple, old-fashioned treat that are prime for personalization. If you like nuts, add them in. Prefer mint chocolate chips to semi-sweet chips? Feel free to substitute. No matter what you add, you're sure to end up with a soft, cake-like cookie that packs on the chocolate flavor. Plus, once you pile on the chocolate icing, it's nearly impossible to have just one.To drop the cookies on your baking sheet, try using a tablespoon cookie scoop. Not only will it help keep your fingers clean, but it will also make sure your cookies come out even.

EASY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WALNUT COOKIES RECIPE



Easy Double Chocolate Walnut Cookies Recipe image

These double chocolate cookies with walnuts are easy. We love them with buttery walnuts, but hazelnuts or almonds would also be delicious. We use a handheld mixer, but a stand mixer works, too.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Time 30m

Yield Makes approximately 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silicon baking mat.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
  • Add the butter, both sugars, and the vanilla to a large bowl. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy; 3 to 5 minutes. (Or, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment).
  • Scrape the side and bottom of the bowl then add the egg. Mix on medium-low speed for 30 seconds. The egg will not be completely incorporated.
  • Turn the speed to the lowest setting. Add the dry ingredients in thirds, beating until just combined; 1 to 2 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low, add the walnuts and chocolate chips and mix until just incorporated.
  • Drop 1 1/2 tablespoon-mounds, or use a medium cookie scoop, onto baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between the cookies to allow for spreading. Lightly press cookie dough mounds down towards the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be dry and tops slightly cracked. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE WALNUT COOKIES



Chocolate Walnut Cookies image

This recipe is a classic and has always been well-received at the cookie swap. I measure out my dry ingredients on a piece of parchment paper and this makes it easier to add into the mixer. I also make large batches of the dough and keep it in the fridge during the holidays so I always have freshly baked cookies on hand when company drops in.
