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.

These are the greatest chocolate shortbread cookies. I have made them for friends, my sister took them to her yoga studio -- everyone raves about the cookies! Very chocolatey-- light and delicate -- and not too sweet. I bake a lot of cookies and pastries and these are among the best. People think I'm talented -- but it's GIADA who is talented!! Thanks for the great recipe! (Only change I made was to substitute walnuts for the pine nuts -- still yummy.
