First made 12/15/2012. Easy and delicious. Made them for Christmas.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 sticks of butter
• 2 T. water
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 packages of Andes mints (28 to a package)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine sugar, butter and water in sauce pan. Cook until it is melted. Mix 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the pan. Stir until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and let sit for about 10 minutes.

Once mixture has cooled, pour into a bowl and add the 2 eggs. Beat eggs into mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir. Then add chocolate mixture. Stir again. Cover and put in fridge for an hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheet (or use parchment paper).
Roll cookie dough into walnut sized balls and place on the cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes

When done press the Andes mint into the top of the cookie. When it melts, use the back of a spoon to swirl it on the top of the cookie. Let melted chocolate harden, then serve.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies
