Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was quite impressed with how these turned out--very chocolate, but still soft and moist.

2 1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 c butter or margarine, softened
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c brown sugar
1 t vanilla
2 eggs
2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c chopped nuts (opt)

Preheat oven to 375. Stir together flour, cocoa, soda, and salt. Cream butter and sugars and vanilla. Add eggs; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until well-blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoons on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool slightly on pan before moving to a wire rack.
