Hi hi! I am just popping in to share this chewy chocolate cookie recipe with you! These cookies kind of came about as an accident – I originally developed them as a base for my chocolate crinkle cookie recipe but was having some issues with the powdered sugar melting. So I switched to an oil based recipe, but this easy chocolate cookie recipe is so so good, I wanted to share it with you still!
These are a part of my holiday cookie recipes that I am posting this year, but they are honestly an amazing chocolate cookie recipe to have in your easy homemade cookie recipes stash year round. These chocolate cookies are cocoa cookies, and are made with pantry staples – no chopping chocolate needed! (although they would be delicious with some chocolate chips or chopped chocolate added)
This Chewy Chocolate Cookie recipe will be your new go to easy chocolate cookie. A super quick cocoa cookie, these can be ready to eat in less than 30 minutes and are made with pantry staples!
Ingredients
1 ¼ cups margarine, softened
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
â…› teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2 In a large bowl, cream together margarine and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in walnuts. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 3 Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
