1 1/4 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. unsifted all-purpose flour
3/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes. (Do not overbake. Cookies will be soft. They will puff during baking, flatten upon cooling.)
