These cookies have become a favorite of mine. They almost have the texture of a brownie- perfectly chewy on the outside and soft on the inside- in perfect cookie form.

Ingredients
⅔cupshortening, (I have found that if you substitute this with anything else, they don't turn out right)
In a large bowl, mix shortening and sugar together. 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.
Bake for 7 to 9 minutes. Let cookies cool for a couple of minutes on baking sheet (about 2-3 minutes) and then move the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
