Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies*

By srumbel

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup shortening (I have found that if you substitute this with anything else, they don’t turn out right)
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix shortening and sugar together (I found it works best if you use an electric mixer). Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between eggs, then add vanilla and water.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir flour mixture into shortening/sugar mixture (don’t over mix) and add in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
