Yield: 3 dozen cookies

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 9 minutes

Additional Time: 2 minutes

Total Time: 26 minutes

Ingredients

2/3 cup of Crisco shortening
1-1/2 cups of firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon of water
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of unsweetened baking cocoa (powder)
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 12-ounce package)

Instructions

Heat your oven to 375 F.
Combine the Crisco shortening, light brown sugar, the water and the vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
Beat at a medium speed of an electric mixer until well blended. Beat the eggs into the creamed mixture.
Combine the flour, cocoa (powder), baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Mix dry ingredients into the creamed mixture at low speed until just blended.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded measuring tablespoonfuls of the mixture 2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake the cookies one tray at a time, at 375 F for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Cookies will appear soft and moist -- DO NOT OVERBAKE.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
Place sheets of foil on the countertop. Transfer the cookies from the trays to the foil, and allow them to cool completely.
