Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips (and nuts if using).
