TWIN CHOCOLATE DELIGHTS

1 cup butter, melted
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs, beaten with a fork
3 cups flour
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place rack in center of oven.
Line cookie sheet/s with parchment paper; set aside.

Combine melted butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl; add cocoa powder, soda, salt and vanilla. Stir mixture until smooth then add the eggs and mix together thoroughly.

Add flour to the egg mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips.

Place rounded teaspoonfuls of dough on cookie sheet, 12 to a standard-sized sheet. Do not overcrowd as cookies will flatten when baking.

Bake at 350 degrees 10 minutes.

Allow to cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
