Walnut Chocolate Cookies

Preheat the oven to 175 °C fan (conventional oven: 200 °C) and line one or two baking sheets with baking paper.

Coarsely chop the walnuts.

Cream the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla sugar with a hand mixer until the sugar has largely dissolved.

Stir in the egg until the mixture is homogeneous.

Mix the flour and baking powder and briefly stir them in, only until no dry flour is visible.

Fold in the chocolate chips and the chopped walnuts at the end.

Using two teaspoons, place small mounds of dough with space between them onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 10–12 minutes (sheets one after the other) until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
