Chocolate Chunk Mocha Cookies

For the cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mix butter and sugars until smooth. Add vanilla. Mix in eggs one at a time until completely blended. Slowly add in flour mixture and beat until incorporporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks.

Drop dough, around a tablespoon per cookie, onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing them to a wire rack. Frost with mocha frosting once they are cooled.

For the frosting:
Combine the first 4 frosting ingredients in a bowl. Stir. Slowly whisk in powdered sugar stirring until completely smooth and thick enough to spread.
