For the Chocolate Lovers

Another simply scrumptious treat our family enjoyed this week was chocolate cookies.
They were so good!
I doubled everything, which made about 3-4 dozen cookies. We have a medium-sized family, so doubling comes as second nature :)

1 cup softened butter 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar 2-2/3 cup coconut
2 eggs 1 cup chocolate chips
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
(Since we did not have either coconut or chocolate chips, I replaced both with 2-3 cups of Hershey's Cocoa Powder)

Cream the butter and sugars. Add vanilla and eggs.

In separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda,

baking powder, salt and Hershey cocoa powder.

Fold into the creamed mixture and add chocolate

chips (if you desire).

Bake at 350*F for 12-18 minutes.
