Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter-flavored shortening
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons milk, divided

Hello your recipe calls for buttered-flavor shortening, but I can not seem to find it and every store I go to they tell me to make my own. Do you? And if so what are the measurements? Thanks
