Method
2) Combine the butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until creamy, about two minutes. Add the flour, pine nuts, and chocolate. Stir until just mixed.
3) Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out 2 1/2-cm balls of dough. Place on the cookie sheet. Bake until the tops look dry, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheets. Dust with icing sugar and transfer to a serving plate.
Not just for pasta! Pine nuts shine in these cookies!

The ingredients for this chocolate chunk cookies recipe come together easily, but it’s the addition of the chocolate chip and the pine nuts that take them to next-level scrumminess. Once they come out of the oven and cool, you end up with cookies that are slightly crisp on the outside, soft and gooey in the middle, with chocolate and nuts in every bite. What’s not to like!

And this is one of the chocolate chunk cookies dishes that doesn’t have to stay true to the ingredients list.

However you bake them, these cookies prove that a small twist - like pine nuts - can make a classic recipe feel brand new.
