When you live in the Seattle area and it’s cloudy and raining, baking in a bright warm kitchen helps send the blues away. Dark Chocolate Cookies help too!

1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/3 cup Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
white chocolate chips, toffee bits, walnuts (I add whatever I am in the mood for at the time!)
Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients, mix well. Add chips, bits and nuts.
Bake at 350° for 9-10 minutes.
