Chewy Chocolate Cookies

I made these cookies mostly for something to do. I really don’t have a sweet tooth (weird, I know), but really good cookies are probably my biggest “sweet tooth” weakness. I made these with my friend, Rachel, who also had nothing much to do that day! 🙂

Makes: 4-1/2 dozen

1-1/4 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
2 c. flour
3/4 c. baking cocoa
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 c. (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix well.
2. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 350F/180C for 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool 1 minutes before removing to wire racks.
