When it comes to comfort food many people will reach for chocolate cookies.  There is nothing better than an oven baked  chocolate walnut cookie that melts in your mouth. They taste great when eaten when they are freshly baked and they are just as good served cold with a glass of milk. 

This cookie recipe is quick and easy to make and are the perfect treat for your family after a day in the park or working in the yard.  Serve this cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and your family’s cravings will be satisfied. 

My mother was a baker and as soon as the weather started to turn cool in the autumn season she would bake cookies for mid-day snacks.  I always looked forward to the chewy chocolate walnut cookies and recall thinking about them on way home from school.  Sometimes I would eat the cookies when they came out of the oven, other times they were served at room temperature. It didn't matter these cookies were always mmm good.

Delicious Dessert Ideas
For a special treat melt milk chocolate morsels in a double boiler.  When the chocolate is completely melted dip one ½ of the cookies into the chocolate and the set on wax paper to cool.

Serve this cookie as a delicious parfait dessert.  Crumble cookie and put at the bottom of a parfait glass.  Next add a scoop of frozen vanilla ice-cream.  Then add another crumbled cookie, top again with ice cream.  Garnish the parfait with drizzled chocolate sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
