2 cups all purpose flour 

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter 

3/4 cup cocoa powder

2 cups sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2/3 cup buttermilk

2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda & salt.

Melt the butter in a small microwave safe bowl. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter(still warm) with cocoa powder & whisk until very smooth. Whisk in sugar, vanilla extract, & buttermilk. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop dough in 1 inch balls into prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches between cookies to allow to spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set around the edges. Cool 2-3 minutes on a baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack with a spatula to cool completely.
