Chewy Chocolate Cookies
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
2 1/2 cups margarine (5 sticks)
4 cups sugar
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups flour
1 ½ cups Hershey’s Cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Cream margarine & sugar in large bowl. Add eggs & vanilla, blend well. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda & salt; blend until creamy. Stir in nuts, if desired.
Drop by spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8 to 9 minutes. (Do not over-bake. Cookies will be soft and puffed up.)
(For Christmas - I put a swirl of frosting on the top to jazz them up a bit.)
