1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/4 tsp baking soda

Heat oven to 375 F. Combine shortening, light brown sugar, water, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat eggs into creamed mixture. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Mix into creamed mixture at low speed until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop rounded measuring tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are set. Cookies will appear soft and moist. Do Not Overbake. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Place sheets of aluminum foil on the countertop. Remove cookies from cookie sheets to foil to cool completely. Yield: about 3 dozen cookies
