Preparation
- 2 mins
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine both sugars and remove all clumps
- 2 mins
Mix in softened butter until texture is consistent throughout (I used my hands as it was easier). Again, there should be no clumps at this point.
- 2 mins
Add eggs one at a time and mix until smooth.
- 2 mins
Add vanilla extract, baking soda and salt then mix.
- 5 mins
Add in the flour all at once. Be careful as to not over-mix, just enough so there's no longer any white flour visible.
- 10 mins
Fold in cacao nibs and optional walnuts. Texture is a bit firm at this point. Scoop dough into balls and place on lightly oiled baking sheet. I use a tablespoon to size each cookie.
- 12 mins
Place in oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. I like them a little undercooked and have found that 12 minutes is the sweet spot.
Notes
This recipe is modified from thekitchn.com found here: thekitchn.com/how-to-make... I prefer cacao nibs over chocolate chips to reduce the sweetness level.
