Ingredients
Instructions
- Place 1/2 cup chocolate morsels in the top of a double boiler and bring water to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cook until the chocolate melts. Set aside to cool.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Cream the shortening in a mixing bowl.
- Gradually add sugar, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer.
- Add cooled melted chocolate, egg, and vanilla extract; beat well.
- Add milk and mix well. Stir in the dry ingredients until combined.
- Fold in the remaining chocolate morsels and chopped walnuts.
- Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate morsels instead of semi-sweet. You can substitute butter for shortening, though it may alter the texture slightly. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or replace them with extra chocolate morsels. Make sure to cool the melted chocolate before adding it to the mixture to avoid cooking the egg.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own but also pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a slice of Lemon Jello Cake for a sweet dessert spread. They also make a great treat for coffee breaks or as a part of a homemade gift basket.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them in a microwave for a few seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of cake flour?
Yes, all-purpose flour works perfectly in this recipe. It will yield a slightly denser cookie, but it will still be delicious. If you prefer a lighter texture, you can sift the all-purpose flour before measuring.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
Cookies are done when they appear set around the edges and slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem a bit underbaked when you take them out.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and baking to ensure even baking.
