REESE'S CHEWY CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Recipe from: Hershey Foods Corporation

1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup cocoa
2 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 2/3 cups (10 oz pkg) peanut butter chips (leave out for plain chocolate cookies)

Heat oven to 350.  In a large mixer bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.  Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually blend into butter mixture. Stir in chips.  Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 8 to 9 minutes.  (Do not over bake; cookies will be soft.  They will puff while baking and flatten while cooling.)  Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.  Cool completely.
Makes approximately 4 1/2 dozen.
