Chocolate Mint Cookies

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp water
2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz package)
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
50-60 Andes mint candies

In saucepan, melt butter, sugar, and water. Add chocolate chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely melted. Pour into mixing bowl and let stand for 10 minutes to cool slightly. At high speed, beat in eggs one at a time. Reduce to low speed and add dry ingredients. Beat just until blended. Chill dough for at least one hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough into balls and place 2 inches apart of cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately place mint on top of each cookie. Allow to soften and swirl mint over cookie.

Enjoy!
