I’m looking for the recipe for Hershey’s cocoa chocolate cookies. I understand it was on the back of the can of Hershey’s cocoa years ago. I have gone to their site, but can’t find what I am looking for. They have recipes for double chocolate, etc. but I’d like the one that was on the back of their can. Thanks!

Thank you for the quick response. Was any of these on the Hershey Cocoa can?
I don’t have any old cocoa cans. These were from the Archive.org archived view of the Hershey website about 9 or 10 years ago.
