Ingredients
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups chocolate chips, 2 Hershey’s chocolate bars, chopped or M&M’S
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl stir together flour, salt, and baking soda. In another large bowl stir together butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla and cocoa (I did this in a mixer). Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture and mix until combined. Stir chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir to distribute evenly.
For cookies: Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets and bake about 10 minutes. Cool on a baking rack.
For bars: Pat dough into a greased 9 inch square baking pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into squares when cooled
Thansks so much for stopping by!
In regards to your question about the painted patio brick, I think it held up fairly well because it is exposed to the Sun all day long when the sun is out. When I first did it, I did use a lot of paint for the initial coat which cost about $30 a can. I was able to get all that I did this year out of that same can and still have enough to most likely refresh it again next year so you are looking at about $10 a year as far as cost. We decided not to put a sealer on it as the sealer is $40 a can and could make the concrete slippery when wet and my luck would be to slip and break a hip!! LOL! we decided to refresh the paint once a year is not too much of a task for how inexpensive it is……
I hope this helped and if you have any other questions about it, please feel free to email me…
Hugs,

Yum! xo
Hey! I found this post form your link on Polka dots on Parade! These look so good! one of my favorite cookies as a child was chocolate chocolate chip cookies! I think I will be adding these to my recipes to try list! thanks for sharing
I've got all these ingredients in my cupboard – now I know what to make for my boys 'gouter' tomorrow.
Well, I didn't have a craving a minute ago, but now I certainly do! A craving for these cookies!!
Oh my goodness Lorraine, do these ever look good! You take the prettiest foodie pictures, too!
This would definitely take care of chocolate needs!
these look just like the ones I make at work but I'm betting yours are better because they are made fresh at home instead of from frozen cookie dough. 🙂
Since I have a chocolate/peanut butter addiction sometimes I cut the chocolate ones in half and pair it with a half of a peanut butter cookie before baking.
Yummy yum yum. mmm mmm mmm Thanks for sharing. Susan

Cookies and milk make everything better! Add some daisies, and everyone feels better. Thanks for the good sounding recipe.
