FOR COOKIES:

PREHEAT oven to 375° F. Grease 8-inch-square baking pan.

FOR CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
COMBINE evaporated milk, morsels, powdered sugar, Choco Bake and butter in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat to low; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. Cool completely.
