Double Chocolate: Sprinkle 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips over batter in pan.
Oatmeal-Molasses: Omit cocoa and vanilla. Mix 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats, 1/2 cups raisins and 1 teaspoon ground allspice into flour mixture. Mix in 2 tablespoons dark molasses with the water.
High Altitude Directions (3500 to 6500 feet): Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Decrease brown sugar to 3/4 cup and baking soda to 3/4 teaspoon. Bake 37 to 42 minutes.
