Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare sheets of foil on the countertop to cool the cookies later.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, shortening, water, and vanilla.
- Using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the mixture until well blended.
- Beat the eggs into the creamed mixture until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture at low speed, ensuring everything is well blended.
- Stir in the peanut butter cups until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using rounded measuring tablespoonfuls, drop the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake one baking sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the cookies are set.
- Be cautious not to overbake the cookies; they should remain chewy and soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to the foil to cool completely.
