Notes

Baking time is about 10 to 12 minutes, but may vary with different ovens.
Cookies are done when edges are firm and middle is mostly firm, but may be a little soft. Don't over bake.
Use unsweetened cocoa powder, either regular or Dutch process, for more intense flavor. See notes on blog for using cocoa.
Use a drinking glass to help the cookies stay nice and round. Just swirl the glass around the freshly baked cookies for a few seconds after they come out of the oven.
Use a mix of semi sweet, extra dark, bittersweet or your favorite chocolate morsels or chunks.
