FUDGY WALNUT COOKIES

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups Valrhona cocoa powder
6 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
5 1/2 cups walnut halves, toasted and coarsely chopped (see NOTE)
8 large egg whites, at room temperature
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven; preheat to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Combine the cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, salt, chocolate chips and walnuts in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, then gradually add the egg whites and vanilla extract. Increase the speed to medium; beat for 3 minutes (and no more). The mixture will have thickened only slightly. Use a 2-ounce (4-tablespoon; 1/4-cup) disher or scoop to transfer 6 mounds of dough to each baking sheet, spacing the mounds at least 3 inches apart. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, then rotate the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back; bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until small, thin cracks appear on the surface of the cookies. Pull the parchment paper with the cookies onto a wire cooling rack; let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the paper. NOTE: Toast the nuts in a medium, dry skillet over medium-low heat for several minutes or just until fragrant and lightly browned, shaking the pan as needed to prevent scorching. Cool completely before using.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread evenly and give them a chewier texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just set: The centers of the cookies will still be soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These fudgy walnut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these fudgy walnut cookies a try!
