Chocolate Cookies
These cocoa cookies are really more like miniature brownies-each one packed with enough chocolate flavor to ward off the worst craving. And the recipe couldn't be simpler!

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, cocoa, egg and vanilla until well blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture.

Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough 11/2 inches apart onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray. Bake 12 minutes, then cool on the cookie sheet for 4 minutes before removing cookies to a wire rack and cooling completely.
