I love baking homemade cookies. I decided to take my original chocolate chip cookie recipe and kick it up a few chocolate notches and add cocoa powder to make chocolate-chocolate chip cookies.  I have to admit this was my 6 year olds idea for our chocolate theme this month.  He would eat everything chocolate if …
