Hershey's Cocoa 5-minute Recipe for Chewy Chocolate Cookies
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine (softened)
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup Hershey's cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl, beat butter & sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, cocoa, bakind soda, and salt. (I sift the dry ingredients together to remove lumps from the cocoa.) Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in nuts, if desired.
Drop by rounded teaspoonsful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 9 minutes. (DO NOT overbake. Cookies will be soft. They will puff during baking, then flatten when cooling.) Cool on cookie sheet until set, about 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. (They say) makes about 4 1/2 dozen cookies.
These are great rewards for good quilting. ;-)
