Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cups dark cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)

Instructions

Mix together the flour, dark cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Blend the butter and sugar together in a mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
Lower the speed and gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in the mixer until well combined. The dough will be very thick.
Stir in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts by hand. Or you can wait and press them on the tops of the cookies before baking.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to chill the dough.
When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place dough balls 2-inches apart, as cookies will spread while baking.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Chill the dough to help keep the cookies from spreading too much when baking.
Check the oven temperature with an oven thermometer to ensure that it’s actually heated to the proper temperature.
