Cocoa Cookies

Let's be honest, everything tastes good with Hershey's unsweetened cocoa..............this recipe is no exception.    My friend's son came over yesterday, so I wanted to bake a quick, easy, yet special cookie.  This recipe made 20 cookies.  I ate one, while my 3 kids, and their friend ate the rest with in 5 minutes. Proves my point that this is one good recipe!  You may consider making a double batch for your clan.

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
