These cookies have a wonderful rich chocolate flavor. And the aroma! I had to beat my boyfriend and housemate away from the oven with a spatula while the cookies were baking.The "whatever" refers to the chips, nuts, candies you put in these cookies (I used holiday colored m&m's). This is adapted from a Hershey Kitchens recipe.

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½-2 cups M&M's , chopped nuts, chocolate chips, whatever you want

2
In a large bowl, beat butter, sugars, vanilla and salt until creamy. Add eggs and beat well.
3
In a separate bowl, stir together cocoa, flour, and baking soda. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended (the dough will be quite thick).
