Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies #2

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ⅔ cup cocoa powder
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (sometimes I use some white chocolate chips, too.)
• ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

• Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Step 2

In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips and pecans. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

• Step 3

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
