How to Make Chewy Brownie Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-vegetable shortening, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips (or your desired combination of chips and/or nuts – see variations).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy! These cookies are best enjoyed the day they are baked, but they will store well in an airtight container for a few days.
