Again, this recipe is from the kitchen of the famous Kennedy family. I love these cookies because they are flat and you can really get a bite of that fantastic chocolate.

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter with the brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda and 2 tablespoons water.
