Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made the most incredible cookies in my whole life yesterday! They are so delicious! We made them into ice cream sandwiches with chocolate-chunk mint ice cream and they were to die for.

Ingredients

· 2 1/4 cups flour

· 1 teaspoon salt

· 1 teaspoon baking soda

· 2 sticks butter, softened

· 1 cup granulated sugar

· 1 cup packed brown sugar

· 2 large eggs, beaten

· 1 tablespoon vanilla

· 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

· 2 cups chocolate chips, 2 Hershey's chocolate bars, chopped or M&M'S

· 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl stir together flour, salt, andbaking soda. In another large bowl stir together butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla and cocoa. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture and mix until combined. Stir chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir to distribute evenly.

For cookies: Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets and bake about 10 minutes. Cool on a baking rack.

For bars: Pat dough into a greased 9 inch square baking pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into squares when cooled

ENJOY!!!!
