Double Chocolate Cookies

These have been a real hit in my house lately, and I love the fact that this recipe turns out the right consistency even at high altitude without using shortening.

1 c butter
1 1/2 c white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
2/3 c cocoa
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 c chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350. Beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into butter mixture until well-blended. Mix in the chocolate chips. Drop onto a greased cookie sheet by teaspoonfuls and bake 8-10 minutes.

Since these are already dark in color, I have a hard time knowing when they're done. I recommend taking them out when they still look a bit too soft, or after about 8 minutes.
