Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
-
Bake the Mud Puppies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until set around the edges but still slightly gooey in the center.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoy these delectable Mud Puppies with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of your favorite tea. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for several days, if they last that long!
