These are unbaked - an unusual idea for those who just love raw cookie dough!

1 cup soft butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon water
1 (6 ounce) package mini chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar together. Add remaining ingredients and mix well by hand. Roll into bite-size balls. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Store in a plastic zip-type bag in the freezer.

Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before eating.

Makes 4 dozen.
