  Walnut Brownie Cookies
  Made with both cocoa powder and dark chocolate, these cookies have a bold flavor that goes well with espresso.
  
  Ingredients
  1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
  2 large eggs, room temperature
  1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  1 1/4 cups toasted walnuts (about 4 ounces), coarsely chopped
  
  Instructions
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  
  Melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and whisk in brown sugar, then eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture with a flexible spatula, then fold in 1 cup walnuts. Refrigerate until dough is just firm, about 30 minutes.
  
  Drop heaping tablespoons of dough, at least 2 inches apart, onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts. Bake until tops of cookies are set and shiny, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.
