Double Chocolate Dream Cookies

I made these cookies and put them in the mail to Danny for his birthday. Ethan and Laura also ate some of them, and I ate a couple, too. Yum. I forgot to take a photo again. Maybe next time.

2 1/4 c. flour
1/2 c. baking cocoa
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 c. (2 sticks) butter
1 c. brown sugar (packed)
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 c. (1 pkg) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat over to 375 degrees. Beat butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool a little before using spatula to remove cookies from baking sheet.
