Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies with Walnuts and Candied Orange Peel

Beware Chocolate lovers! Today’s recipe is Thick and Chewy Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies with Walnuts and Candied Orange Peel. These are deliciously rich and dense brownie textured chocolate cookies. Firm on the edges but soft and chewy on the inside. Yumm!!

Oh my! its been more than a week now..  How much I missed blogging and my beautiful blogger friends and not to forget cooking too..  Last week my health had taken a toll on me. I was completely sidelined by an awful cold and flu (way too much ice cream I guess 😉 ).  All I was craving for during this time was some nice and warm thick and chewy cookies. Oh! Chocolate cookies. I was so sick of not being able to go to the kitchen and cook or bake. Well I tried convincing my better-half most of the week to bake me some cookies, but obviously I failed terribly. haha!

Finally I was feeling better yesterday & I took the first opportunity to jump into the kitchen and bake some chocolate cookies and they turned out just perfect as I hoped.  

These cookies are loaded with lots and lots of dark chocolate then there is cocoa powder and more chocolate chips and nuts and a surprising ingredient, Yes! Candied Orange Peel.. I wanted to add a little oomph to these cookies, so I decided to add some candied orange peel. It was simply amazing. Lovely thick and chewy brownie cookies. These cookies are rich & dense and bursting with flavours..

These cookies have a wonderful texture both of brownie as well as cookies.  The candied orange peel gives a fresh and zesty feel and taste to the cookie.   

Chocolate and orange go hand in hand. They are the ultimate pairing in this delicious cookie.  I have used candied orange before in my Orange Almond Cake with Candied Orange.  

Well enough said.. Grab a glass of milk and enjoy this amazing cookie! 😀
