Ingredients for These Delightful Cookies
Before we get baking, let’s gather our ingredients:

- ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup of chopped nuts (you can use walnuts or pecans)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Let’s Get to Baking!
Now that we’ve got everything ready, here’s how we’re gonna whip up these cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set that aside.
- In another big bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is just combined.
- Fold in those chopped nuts for that crunchy texture we love.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving some space in between each.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Allow them to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you’re feeling fancy, dust some powdered sugar on top once they’re cooled.
