Best Holiday Chocolate Recipe

Best Holiday Chocolate Recipe

I've browsed the net looking for a chocolate recipe that would be the best, all-time, holiday chocolate recipe and after several hours of choosing from the many chocolate recipes, I finally settled for the one I feel most deserving to be hailed as, "The Best Holiday Chocolate Recipe" and it's the Chocolate cookies recipe. You can have chocolate cookies for Easter parties, Halloween, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas eve dinner, and even on New Year's Day! They are certainly an all-time favorite, from toddlers to teens to grown-ups.

Here is a simple but wonderful Chocolate Cookies recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cups of chocolate chips (choose semi-sweet chips)
2 tablespoons of butter
1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 large eggs
5 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup of nuts, preferably walnuts, chopped

The first step in making this wonderful chocolate recipe is to preheat your chocolate cookie-making oven to 350F. Put in a cup of chocolate chips and the 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-proof container, preferably a transparent bowl, and heat it up until it melts. Mix the mixture well until it smoothens. After that, put the 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl and mix them together. Be careful when mixing as not to whisk the mixture too hard or you will waste some.

Using a kitchen mixer or just by hand, beat the 2 large eggs and when done, add in the 5 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well. Add the melted chocolate chips mixture you've previous heated up in the oven bit by bit into the mixture of eggs, brown sugar and vanilla. Next add in the dry ingredients and don't forget to add as well the 1/2 cup of chopped nuts and the other cup of chocolate chips.

After mixing all the ingredients, you will have a dough. Take a scoop of the dough and place it onto a baking sheet at about 2 to 3 inches apart. If you want to make the dough firmer, refrigerated it for about an hour or more. Bake it for 10 to 15 minutes while rotating the cookie sheet every once in a while until your wonderful chocolate cookies are a little shiny and cool them completely on the baking sheets.

To make your chocolate cookies suit more into the holiday season, decorate it with sugar or butter cream icings. Enjoy your best holiday chocolate recipe!
