How to Make Chocolate Nut Dainties

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the dainties cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
