Chocolate Nut Cookies

It’s been a crazy baking weekend for me as I prepared couple of baked items.  I was planning to prepare something with chocolate and decided to bake cookies with full of chocolate, almonds, cashews and walnuts.

Chocolate Nut Cookies are crispy, moist and chewy which combines the subtle flavor of chocolate with nuts. These cookies were fabulous and delicious to eat. They have been highlight of the weekend in our home.

Once we make the cookie dough, if we don’t want to bake the cookies right away, we can freeze it and can enjoy freshly baked cookies on demand. These bake very fast.

Its soft texture makes it a perfect cookie. They are good for gift giving.
