In another medium bowl, cream together 1/2 c butter with 1/2 c white sugar and 1/2 c brown sugar. Beat in 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla. Combine 1 1/2 c flour with 1/4 c cocoa, 1/4 tsp of baking soda and a pinch of salt, stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop a small amount of the chocolate chip mixture onto a spoon, roll it with your hands into a ball and place it on a cookie sheet. Do the same with the double chocolate chip mixture and place the ball next to the chocolate chip mixture, then press in the middle and form into a small patty. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
