Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375° F. Line cookie sheets with a piece of parchment, or leave un-greased.

Into a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a stand mixer or with a hand-held electric mixer on medium speed (or by hand) beat together butter and brown sugar until fluffy and uniform in color. Add eggs one at a time, beating until well-combined. Reduce speed to a low stir and add dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour in chocolate and walnuts and stir to combine.

Drop a heaping tablespoon of dough with at least 2 inches of space between. Bake on center rack until puffed, but still slightly shiny in the middle, about 10-15 minutes.

With a spatula, transfer cookies to a rack to cool.
