How to Make Cracked Chocolate Chipper Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a baking sheet.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening, 1/2 cup water, and 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  9. Remove dough from the refrigerator. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  10. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until thoroughly coated.
  11. Place balls 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until edges are set and tops are cracked. Keep a close eye on them as they bake quickly.
  13. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
