Equipment

  • oven
  • hand mixer (optional)

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 C. butter softened
  • 3/4 C. brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 C. granulated sugar
  • 2 hard boiled eggs finely minced
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 ¼ C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp. Kosher salt 
  • 1/2 C. walnuts finely chopped (optional)
  • C. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F/ 190˚C.
  • Add butter and sugars to a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer on low to combine. Increase speed to medium and cream 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the minced eggs and vanilla. Mix on low to incorporate.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Use a wooden spoon to incorporate.
  • Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips. The mixture will initially be dry, but continue stirring until it forms a thick dough.
  • For small cookies, scoop 1 tablespoon portions on to a parchment lined baking sheet spaced 1" apart.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until just golden on the edges. Do not overbake.
  • Cool on the pan 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Makes 24-60 cookies depending on the size. 
  • I found letting the dough rest 15 minutes before baking allowed the flour to absorb the butter and made the dough easier to scoop.
  • Take care not to over bake the cookies. They should be just golden around the edges. 
  • This recipe was adapted from Challenge Butter's recipe for hard boiled egg cookies.
