Chunky Chocolate Cookies
with walnuts
These dark chocolate chunk cookies are real crowd pleasers, since they are made with both dark chocolate chips and a dark chocolate bar.
Every bite is a chocolate lover’s dream!
When it comes to chocolate, I always prefer dark chocolate.
These cookies have a double dose of it and walnut chunks, so one of these cookies is perfectly satisfying.
One batch will make two dozen big cookies, as pictured.
Or you can make smaller ones, if that’s what you prefer.
Make a batch of these chunky cookies for a special occasion or surprise your family with a treat for no particular reason at all.
Enjoy!
