Chocolate Nut Slices
Description
These Chocolate Nut Slices are the ultimate no-fuss dessert for chocolate lovers. The dough is incredibly simple to mix, resulting in a dense, cake-like texture that is neither too dry nor too soft. Loaded with chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips, every bite offers a delightful contrast between the creamy chocolate base and the crunchy nuts. They hold their shape beautifully when sliced, making them perfect for cookie platters, lunchboxes, or an afternoon snack with coffee. Because they bake quickly and use pantry staples, you can have this comforting treat ready in under an hour. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and moist for days.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
-
In a medium bowl, beat the butter-flavored shortening and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until the flour disappears and a thick dough forms.
-
Fold in the chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
-
Divide the dough into four equal portions. On the prepared baking sheets, shape each portion into a log measuring approximately 1 inch in width and 8 inches in length.
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the logs are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the logs to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once completely cool, use a sharp knife to slice each log diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
