Chocolatey Chocolate Chip Cookies

We took some of these to our orthodontist's office to pass around to the staff a little while ago and they said they were better than the local bakery everyone boasts about.  They are that good!  The other day we used fresh milled flour (increasing flour to 3 1/4 cups soft white wheat) and they were just as tasty!  Enjoy!

Chocolatey Chocolate Chip Cookies
 
1 cup butter softened
1 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
12 oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream together butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Sift together flour, baking cocoa, soda and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture mixing until blended. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons (I use the P. Chef medium scoop) on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes until lightly browned. Makes about 3 dozen 3" cookies.
