I stumbled upon your blog via Stephanie's and would love to try this recipe, but I had a question--do you mean cocoa like hot chocolate or cocoa like baking chocolate? Thanks!
she means cocoa as in unsweetened baking cocoa powder. i just have to vouch for these -- they are practically my favorite cookie.
