Perfect recipe! Just what I was looking for, as we only had 1 stick of butter on hand. We did use the cocoa powder, stirring it into the flour before incorporating it (we did use one tablespoon less flour than was called for). 3/4 cup semi-sweet choc. chips was just right for our taste, and we didin't use any white choc. chips at all. Also stirred in 1 tbsp. of ground flaxseed and 1/2 cup rolled oats for a warm,oaty, chocolatey bit of yumminess!
