Holiday Baking
What’s your favorite kind of cookie? If I HAD to choose, it would hands down be my Grandma’s homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts…no one can make them like her. But in reality, I think mine depends on what time of year it is. In the summer, I love a good lemony shortbread; in winter, I crave deeper flavors like molasses and ginger. Don’t get me wrong, I am not one to turn down a cookie ANY time of year…but there are just certain flavors and tastes that fit well with certain seasons and occasions!
Today’s cookie recipe is just perfect for Christmastime. It’s got everything you could ever want in a sweet treat. Chocolatey goodness. Rich, buttery flavor. Soft-baked texture. And this recipe is SUPER easy to make!
Chocolate Peppermint Brownie Cookies with Walnuts
With only 10 ingredients, these cookies are some of the simplest holiday cookies you’ll make all season long but also, some of the TASTIEST! It’s so amazing the flavors that simple, whole food ingredients can bring to a recipe. In this one in particular, the unsweetened cocoa lends its rich, bold taste making these extra chocolatey and fudgy, while the almond flour gives them a nutty and rich buttery flavor! Such a wonderful combination.

I love a soft baked cookie. These sound amazing
I love any peanut butter themed cookie the very best, but I love chocolate cookies too!!!! The buttery goodness of a cookie combined with ice cream is my favorite. I didn’t actually eat a cookie yesterday, but I did eat chocolate cookie dough icecream… Does that count? :o)
Could you use honey instead of the stevia syrup? Or maple syrup?

I love these cookies so much! I substitute two tablespoons of sugar free chocolate syrup for the stevia syrup and add additional liquid splenda. And for the coup de grace I add two tablespoons of sugar free chocolate chips. This doesn’t add much to the net carbs either! They are divine – a just about perfect sweet treat. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
