1-1/4 cups butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture. Shape dough into a log and place in your cookie press. Press cookies out onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Note: Decorate with sprinkles, candied cherries, melted white chocolate, or sandwich with vanilla frosting.

Would make this again.
Made these with my kids.... I added extra chocolate and even added some almond extract... still bland. The kids like them, so that's what's important. 3 stars

Would make this again.
These are great if you're not looking for something sweet. But they taste too bland by themselves.. they need to be dipped in white chocolate or peanut butter in the middle 3 stars

Just took the first tray out of the oven and tasted one. Nice and light and fluffy! Very tasty too. I can see these will be a family favourite already. 5 stars

Would make this again.
Made these with my 3 year old son...he can't get enough of them! He has also been a great helper and the cookies have all come out gorgeous and yummy. I baked them at 10 minutes and when fresh, they're still a little soft. Definitely a tasty chocolate recipe! 5 stars
