2/3     cup     Crisco Shortening       
 1 1/2   cups    firmly packed light brown sugar 
 1       tablespoon      water   
 1       teaspoon        vanilla 
 2               eggs    
 1 1/2   cups    all-purpose flour       
 1/3     cup     unsweetened baking cocoa        
 1/4     teaspoon        baking soda     
 1/2     teaspoon        salt    
 Heat oven to 375 F.  Combine Crisco, light brown sugar, water and
 vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer
 until well blended.  Beat eggs into creamed mixture. Combine flour,
 cocoa, baking soda and salt.  Mix into creamed mixture at low speed
 until just blended. Drop rounded measuring tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart

 for 7 minutes, or until cookies are set.  Cookies will appear soft and
 moist - DO NOT OVERBAKE! Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes.  Place sheets
