Photo: Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Pine Nuts Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup toasted pine nuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks or chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, pine nuts, and chocolate. Stir until just mixed.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out 1-inch balls of dough. Place on the cookie sheet. Bake until the tops look dry, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheets. Dust with powdered sugar and transfer to a serving plate.

Just made these after finding the recipe while searching for another recipe. I read a lot of the reviews, but decided to make them per the recipe. The only change was bittersweet chips since I didn't have any semisweet on hand. I really like the fine texture and the not too sweetness of this cookie. I will definitely make these again, they're an adult kind of cookie and the pine nuts add an interesting richness.
