Chocolate Mint Cookies
Makes 3 dozens
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
36 chocolate mint wafer candies (I used Andes mints)
DIRECTIONS
In a large pan over low heat, cook butter, sugar and water until butter is
melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat
and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into a large
bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool off slightly.
At high speed, beat in eggs, one at a time into chocolate mixture. Reduce speed
to low and add dry ingredients, beating until blended. Chill dough about 1
hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough into balls and place
on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes. While
cookies are baking unwrap mints and divide each in half. When cookies are
brought out of the oven, put 1/2 mint on top of each cookie
Let the mint sit for up to 5 minutes until melted, then spread the mint on top
of the cookie. Eat and enjoy
