Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup softened butter
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts, pecans or macadamia nuts (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.
Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in one egg until completely incorporated. Beat in the last egg along with the vanilla. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Drop by heaped teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 9 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
