Chocolate Cookies

With a thin crust for a little crunch around the edges and a soft, fudgy center...I LOVE these cookies!

Ingredients

1 C + 2 T butter, softened

1 C sugar

½ C brown sugar

2 eggs

1 t vanilla

2 C flour

¾ C cocoa powder (I use dark)

1 t soda

½ t salt

optional: 1-2 C chocolate chips

  (semi sweet, milk, dark, or peanut butter chips...

     this time I used toffee bits)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add, all at once, to creamed mixture.

Stir in chips, if desired.

Spoon or scoop onto ungreased baking sheets. (I use parchment paper.)

Bake 10-12 minutes.
