We've been making these chewy morsels since I was a kid. They cool to a very flat cookie that looks like it should be crisp, but isn't. I really don't think you should use anything but butter, but that's just my opinion! You can add 1 cup of chopped walnuts if you'd like, too.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups soft butter or 1 1/4 cups margarine
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream butter and sugar in large bowl.
3. Add eggs and vanilla, blend well.
4. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; blend into creamed mixture.
5. Drop by teaspoonsful onto ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes.
7. (DO NOT OVERBAKE! Cookies will be soft. They will puff during baking and flatten upon cooling.) Cool on cookie sheet until set, about 1 minute.
8. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
