This fudgy cookie is irresistible – especially warm right out of the oven.
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large egg
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chunks, about 250 g
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
PREHEAT oven to 350F (180C). In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter with granulated and brown sugar for 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
IN a small bowl, using a fork, stir flour with cocoa, baking soda and salt. Beat into butter mixture just until combined. Stir in chocolate and nuts. Drop tablespoonfuls (15 mL) of dough about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in centre of 350F (180C) oven for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are firm. (Bake a shorter time for soft chewy centres.) Cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets. Remove to wire racks to cool.
