Ingredients

⅔ cup Shortening See notes for substitution
1 ½ cup Brown Sugar
1 tbs Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 Eggs
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
⅓ cup Cocoa
1 ½ cup Flour
1 ½ cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a couple of baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or line them with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream the shortening and brown sugar.
Mix in the water, vanilla, and eggs.
Add the baking soda, salt, and cocoa and mix well.
Stir in the flour and chocolate chips. This cookie dough is a pretty moist and sticky dough.
Scoop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets a couple of inches apart.
Bake for about 8 minutes. These cookies will appear slightly undercooked when they are done.
Remove from your oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Notes

You can substitute solid coconut oil for the shortening. You will need to add an additional ¼ cup of flour if you do.
