Ingredients

2 cups Flour
1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1/3 cups Cocoa Powder
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Salt
6 Tablespoons Butter, Chilled, In Pieces
1 whole Egg
1/2 cups Milk
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
1 cup Walnuts, Toasted & Chopped
Powdered Sugar, Optional, For Sprinkles

Directions

1

Whisk dry ingredients - flour, brown sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt - in a large bowl, breaking up the clumps of brown sugar.
2

Cut in the butter.
3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg, milk and vanilla. Whisk to blend (or you can mix these 3 things separately in another bowl) then begin mixing into the dry ingredients.
4

NOTE: the batter is very stiff. I mean it - VERY STIFF. You will think something is wrong and you'll recheck your quantities a bazillion times looking for your mistake. Then you'll start cursing me and calling me names because you'll think I made the mistake. And I'll hear you - don't think I won't know if you're calling me a dork behind my back. This has been a public service announcement. Carry on.
5

Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips, or in this case, find some way to smash them into the VERY STIFF DOUGH.
6

Scoop out the dough with a 1/4 cup measuring cup or a big 0l' spoon and drop them on a greased cookie sheet. I usually fit 6-8 on a sheet.
7

Bake 12 minutes at 375F. Let them cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Or eat them warm with vanilla ice cream.

Then, while your mouth is still full, leave me a message on my wire, apologizing for cursing and calling me names. Enjoy!!!
