After flopping a few batches of bread in the bread machine, I found this recipe which works REALLY well...
12 oz. liquid (Potato water, water, ect.)
2 TBS. butter/margarine
4 C. flour
2 TBS. sweeting (Honey, sugar, ect.)
2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. yeast
Put all the ingredients in the bread machine 'bowl' in this order: liquid, butter/margarine, flour, sweeting, salt, yeast. The loaf size setting should be 1 1/2.
For sweeter bread, add 1/2 C. sugar.
Works well for dough, too..
Can be used for things like cinnamon rolls ;)

Chewy Brownie Cookies
These are probably my favorite cookies after chocolate chip cookies.
Chewy Brownie Cookies
1 1/2 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
2/3 c. vegetable shortening
1 T. water
1 t. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. baking soda
2 c. (one bag) semisweet choc. chips
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2.Place brown sugar, shortening, water, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs; beat well.
3. In a small bowl combine flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Add to shortening mixture; beat at low speed just until blended. Stir in choc. chips.
4. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet.
5. Bake one baking sheet at a time at 375 for 7-9 minutes or until cookies are set. Do Not Overbake. (cookies will still look and feel squishy but I promise they will harden!) Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to cookie rack or foil to cool.
makes about 3 dozen
