2/3 cup cocoa powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

preheat oven to 350 degrees

in a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs & vanilla until light & fluffy.  combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended.  mix in the chocolate chips and walnuts. drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheets (i used parchment paper because the dough was really sticky).

bake for 8-10 minutes (my oven was 12 minutes) until just set.  cool slightly on cookie sheets.  transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

makes 36 cookies.
