Health and fertility benefits of Chewy Double-Chocolate Cookies

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 º. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla, cocoa powder and egg together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and the remaining teaspoon of salt and slowly mix into the batter. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to crisp. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
