+1 1/2 c. brown sugar
+2 T. water
+2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
+2 1/2 c. flour
+1 1/4 tsp. baking soda

Spoon onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. When cookies come out of oven, sprinkle peppermint candy canes(crushed) on top of the cookie and do not spread. The pieces will get soft at first, but then keep their shape and re-solidify when cool.
