Name that Cookie

Back about 4 years ago I was bugeting and said, "We spend over $400 a year on cookies alone.. COOKIES! From now on, if you want a cookie, you make the cookie."
It helped that we switched from shopping at Safeway (omg best cookies ever) to King Soopers (cookies or styrofoam?).
Saturday we went to Safeway and I, it was me, I'll admit it, picked up the Chocolate Chewy Cookies. $4.49 for 12, on sale for $3.49.
It's been 30 hours and the box is half empty.
I need to make these myself.
Ingredients:
Sugar, Pecans, Water, Cocoa, Egg Whites, Veg Oil, Salt, Starch, Flavor.

This internet claims that this is the closest recipe:

We know I am generally bad at cookies, but I'll try to make them later.

I ate a whole box of blueberries instead.

What brand cookie? Do you have Cougar Mountain out there?

It's the cookies made in house by the Safeway bakery.

No, I don't think we have Cougar Mountain.

We'll fill the back of the car with them while you're here.
