It’s Saturday afternoon, I’ve got a bunch of walnuts. What do I do? Bake Chocolate Walnut Cookies of course! The perfect treat to go with a cup of tea, and pretty easy and quick to throw together.
I actually was lying in bed a couple of nights ago dreaming about these cookies. I’ve heard that’s not really normal, to dream about food and then create it, but hey.. they taste good, so I’m happy to keep dreaming the food dreams!
When I made these, I used about 100g of chocolate, but too be honest, I think that was too much (is there ever? haha), so in the recipe below I have modified it to 1/3 cup (60g), that way it shouldn’t melt all over the place like mine have.
If you’re a cookie fan (let’s be honest, who isn’t?), try out our Lemon Poppyseed Cookies, or Aunt’s Choc Chip Cookies or Strawberry Shortcake Cookies!

Add the chopped walnuts and vegan chocolate. Form into balls and place on a lined baking tray. Press down a little on each one, they will spread a little bit, but not too much.
