A chocolate cookie accented with walnuts and chocolate chips
I love the idea of pretty clothes, but I always wear the same thing – v-neck or scoopneck tees with shorts or jeans. You’d think this would be a pretty easy outfit to pull off, but for some reason I always ruin my shirts.
At first, I would always get holes at the bottom. I thought they were just from being worn regularly, but then I realized it was from picking up my cat, Punk’n. He always grips down at the bottom.
Recently, I got a new shirt and I’ve been extra careful to keep it pristine. But, of course, it’s already soiled!
First, a splotch of tire grease got on it. & you ask – how does one get tire grease on your shirt? Well, our kittens, play with the chain on my bike and get the grease all over their paws! I treated the shirt and it looked like most of it came out.
The next time, I wore the shirt while I prepared dinner. I cut an onion and my eyes started watering like crazy. My mascara ran down my cheeks like nobody’s business and right onto my shirt! So, I treated the shirt again and the washing machine left a brown line! Ahh – I can’t win!
But at least these cookies were delicious! One day I ran out of treat ideas and I asked my dad for a suggestion and he came up with these! At first, I wasn’t feeling it, but I’m so glad I made them because they were delicious! Hope you love them, too (oh – & hope you don’t have shirt troubles like me 😉 )

I have been craving homemade cookies lately and these look so good! I’m always up for double chocolate and I love the addition of the crunchy walnuts.
Thanks Ashley! Homemade cookies are the best – and the flavor possibilities are endless 😉
Walnuts go so well in cookies don’t they. They add so much flavour and a nice little crunch.
I was surprised at how well the walnuts complemented the cookies. Thanks Dannii!
Anything with double the chocolate is a winner in my book! I love how thick these are! Looks perfect!
I agree! Thank you, Gayle!
Megan, hahha, I feel the same way about clothes. . I love my “home” clothes .. comfortable and I don’t care if they get dirty. . but if you are wearing something nice in the kitchen, wear an apron! that should help! LOVE these double chocolate walnut cookies. . yes to chocolate, always!!
I have lots of aprons, Alice, but I hardly ever wear them. Since writing this post though, I’ve been doing better. Thanks!
As someone who has had cats all of my life, I totally understand what you’re talking about with shirts! These cookies look so delicious. I love a big chocolate cookie, and the walnuts make them even more tempting!
Thanks Amanda! I’ve been more careful with the cats recently and my shirts are staying pretty clean 😉
Oooh, I could sure go for a few of these cookies for breakfast. Double chocolate is always a winner and I love the addition of walnuts!
Oooh, for breakfast! What a great idea, Kelly 🙂 Thank you!
The chocolate in your cookies look amazing – that color is absolutely perfect! Please send a batch my way! 🙂
Oh, I wish I could, Eva! Thank you!!
Oh, boy, these cookies look fantastic! I can relate to the messy clothes—I am typically in yoga clothes and thankfully those wash up quite well. I’d be in deep trouble if I baked while wearing a cotton T-shirt 🙂
Thank you, Liz!
My husband is like that. He tears holes in EVERYTHING he wears. I have no idea how it happens!
These cookies look so happy. I love the walnuts!
Thanks Mir! I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one with holey clothes 😉
One, these cookies sound fantastic! And two, you’re not alone! I destroy my clothes while cooking … to the point where I mostly cook in PJs because I don’t care what happens to them! And even with aprons I somehow seem to splatter olive oil on me!
I know exactly what you mean! Thanks Ashley!
Oh no you poor thing! I’m very messy too although it probably does help that I don’t have a cat or dog. I love the sound of these cookies-anything double chocolate peaks my interest!
Thanks Lorraine! Double chocolate is the best!
I also don’t wear an apron and have some interesting splashes on my clothes. Great cookie recipe 🙂
Thank you, Tandy! Splashes just give our clothes character 😉
Yum! I love these double chocolate beauties and all those crunchy walnuts!
Thanks so much, Michelle!
What a great suggestion from your dad 🙂
I agree! Thanks Laura!
