Milk Chocolate Cookies (Adapted from Martha Stewart)
One of my favorites. These are the cookies I make when I am trying to impress someone or cheer a person up. Though they are made with milk chocolate they are not too sweet. The edges are airy and crunchy and the center is soft and chewy.

Directions
Preheat oven to 325. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
Melt coarsely chopped chocolate with the butter. My gurl Martha does this with a double broiler, but despite her objections I use a pan on the lowest heat and this has worked just fine for my many chocolatey recipes.
Transfer chocolate mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer.
Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture.
Fold in chocolate chunks.
Scoop batter using a 1½-inch ice cream scoop, or a spoon; place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake until cookies are flat and surfaces begin to crack, about 15 minutes. Transfer on parchment to wire racks. Let cool 5 minutes.
