We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F.

  • Step 2: Beat butter, margarine and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and water and blend thoroughly. Beat in cocoa.

  • Step 3: Slowly add flour and nuts and mix until completely incorporated.

  • Step 4: Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place on ungreased baking sheet.

  • Step 5: Flatten balls slightly.

  • Step 6: Bake until cookies are set but not browned, about 8 minutes.

  • Step 7: Roll in powdered sugar while still warm. Do not skip this step.

  • Step 8: When cooled, roll in powdered sugar again (or sift powdered sugar over tops). Do not skip this step.

  • Note: This type of cookie tends to be on the dry side. If you want it to be moister, try underbaking by 1-2 minutes
