Chocolate-Walnut-Cookies

Yield:

45 cookies

Ingredients:

100g butter

100g sugar

1 package vanilla sugar

4 tbsp milk

200g flour

1 tsp baking agent

50g chopped walnuts

50g bittersweet chocolate that won‘t melt

For the topping:

100g chocolate

Preparation:

1) These cookies are one of my favorite Christmas cookies. Especially if I can use walnuts from my grandma’s garden, because they taste amazing, much better than the ones you can buy. But actually these chocolate-walnut-cookies can be easily served all year round, since they are practically better tasting (and healthier) chocolate chip cookies.

2) First, you need to whisk the butter until it’s creamy. Then slowly add some sugar, vanilla sugar and milk.

3) To achieve an even distribution, mix the baking agent with the flour and sieve it into your bowl.

4) Then you’ll need to do some cutting of the name giving ingredients: walnuts and chocolate.

5) Now after this hard work, you can add these delicious ingredients to your dough and stir for a while, until they’re equally distributed.

6) Next, transfer about a third of the dough in a small bowl and set the rest in the fridge, so the chocolate won’t melt.

7) Then it’s time to form the cookies. We’ll take about a teaspoon of dough and first form it into a ball and then press our hands together to form the cookie.

8) Place your cookies on a baking tray covered with baking paper and bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C or 356°F for about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how brown you want your cookies to be.

9) When they have cooled down, coat them with some more chocolate, because there’s no such thing as too much chocolate. And also the cookies just look better when they aren’t naked.

10) After a few hours of drying, they’re ready to eat!
