I couldn’t help but top the cookie jar up this afternoon with these beauty’s ❤️ Chewy chocolate cookies scattered with white chocolate and walnuts

Cream in a large bowl

1 &1/4 cups butter (slightly softened)

2 cups sugar

Add in and continue to cream until light and fluffy

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla essence

Sift in the following dry ingredients

3/4 cup cocoa

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

Mix together and further add

1 cup roughly chopped walnuts

1 cup roughly chopped white chocolate

Roll into wee balls (about 40) and place evenly over 3-4 trays. This mix is particularly sticky so try and refrain from eating half the mixture off your hands - I promise it's worth the wait in cooking them!

Cook on 180 bake for 10 mins and allow 5 mins to cool on tray before transferring.

Made with love,

Walnut and ginger, two of my favourite ingredients- now my new favourite combo in delishiously chewy cookies!!! 👌

Walnut & ginger cookies

Mix the following together in a bowl with beaters - i think whipping this until it's nice and fluffy is always the secret to good chewy cookies!

160g butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup brown soft sugar

Splash vanilla

1 x egg yolk

1 x whole egg

Pop the beaters away and mix the following through with a spatula

2 cup sifted flour

1 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup chopped crystallised ginger

1/2 cup walnuts

Mix and form into wee balls (i seriously made 40 of the wee things) and place on a baking tray - I know people say to put the mix in the fridge- but come on- aint nobody got time for that! - mine went straight into the oven and they were such beautys I wouldn't change a thing!

Bake on 180 deg for 10 mins (or until chewy golden). After 5 mins of cooling on the tray- transfer onto breadboard or rack to completely cool!

These have been an absolute hit - I'm even surprised by my not-so-enthusiastic- on-ginger eaters loved this mix as well! 

Made always - with love
