Fast & Easy Chewy Chocolate Cookies

These yummy cookies are simple to make and taste like brownies!

Ingredients:

1 ¼ cups butter (or margarine), softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup Hershey’s Cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Directions:

Cream butter (or margarine) and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Blend well. In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend into creamed mixture until well combined.

Drop cookie dough by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes. (Ovens vary, so keep an eye on the cookies so they don’t burn!)

Cookies will be soft and puffy when removed from the oven, but will flatten upon cooling. For best results, let them cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Options:

This simple recipe can be modified in a variety of ways. If you want to add an extra background flavor, swap out the vanilla extract for mint, orange, or almond extract.

You can also add a cup of any of the following to the batter:
* chopped almonds

* chopped walnuts
* white chocolate chips
* peanut butter flavored chips
* dark chocolate chips
* mint chips
* shredded coconut
* crushed candy cane pieces

Enjoy!
