Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Line cookie sheets with foil or parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat shortening, brown sugar, water, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed just until the flour is absorbed and no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
-
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft and moist. Do not overbake.
-
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to firm up slightly.
-
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
