White chip chocolate cookies with nuts

Because the peanut butter cookies turned out so well last week, I decided to make another batch of cookies this weekend as well. These did not turn out as good but they are still really tasty.


Ingredients
225 g butter, softened
440 g white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
250 g plain flour
90 g cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
100 g coarsly chopped white chocolate
100 g coarsly chopped unsalted mixed nuts


Preheat oven to 180 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt and stir into the creamed mixture. Fold in the white chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on to ungreased baking trays and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are set. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
