Chewy Chocolate Brownie Cookies

This recipe is for great tasting chocolate chip cookies made in a homemade brownie batter type dough!

First things first, assemble your ingredients! You'll need the following things....
2/3 cup Crisco solid
1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 Tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 and 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semi sweet mini morsel chocolate chips

The first step is to cream together your first four ingredients.

An important tip to help in measuring out your Crisco solid is to use a 2 cup measuring cup. Fill it with 1 cup of water and then add Crisco solid until it hits the 1 and 2/3 cup mark when the Crisco is submerged. Drain the water from the measuring cup and scoop the leftover Crisco into your mixing bowl!

I prefer to use a Kitchenaid mixer because it mixes the ingredients better, but any electric mixer will work!

So....Cream together your Crisco solid (2/3 cup), brown sugar (1 and 1/2 cup), water (1 tablespoon), and vanilla (1 teaspoon) until mixed well!

Then add your eggs (2)! Mix well!

Next add your dry ingredients! Flour (1 and 1/2 cup), cocoa powder (1/3 cup), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and baking soda (1/4 teaspoon)!

This is what your dough should look like pre-chips!

Use a spatula and stir in your semi-sweet mini morsel chocolate chips (2 cups)!! It works better if you use a spatula than to use the mixer, but the choice is up to you!

Lightly grease your cookie sheets and drop dough onto them by the spoonfuls.

Bake the cookies for 7-9 minutes at 375 degrees. They should look like this!

Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheets and cool for 3-5 minutes, remove and place on paper towels to finish cooling. 

Once cooled, enjoy!
