Finally, crunchy chocolate cookies!

Adapted from the same Vivian Pang recipe which I used for the chocolate chip cookies. This is definitely my go-to recipe for crunchy cookies in future!

Ingredients

• 125g salted butter
• 120g brown sugar
• 1 egg + 1 tsp vanilla essence (lightly beaten)
• 210g plain flour
• 40g cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 120g semi-sweet chocolate chips
• handful of coarsely chopped walnuts

Steps

1. Whisk the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder together to remove lumps and ensure that it's well mixed
2. Add in the chocolate chips and walnuts into the flour mixture and mix well
3. Cream butter + sugar till light and fluffy
4. Add in the egg/vanilla mixture and beat till well mixed
5. Add in 3/4 of the flour mixture into the butter mixture and beat at low speed till well incorporated
6. Add in the remaining of the flour mixture and beat till low speed till well incorporated
7. Pre-heat the oven to 170 degree celsius
8. Line the baking tray with grease paper
9. Using 2 spoons, drop spoonfuls of the cookie doughs onto the baking tray, leaving about 1.5 cm distance between each cookie
10. Bake for 25 minutes
11. Transfer to cooling rack and let it cool completely before storing into airtight container

Makes about 40 cookies.

Recipe courtesy of here, but I halved it for about 70 cookies and used all brown sugar instead. I'm gonna stick to this recipe in future :)
