Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had these at a party last night and they were amazing!! Thanks Mitzi and Judy!



Ingredietns:
3/4 cup butter

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
Andes mints candies, broken in half


Directions:
Heat oven to 350°F.
Over low heat, combine butter, sugar and water. Heat until melted and add chocolate chips until partly melted. Remove from heat and stir. Pour into large mixing bowl. Let stand 10 minutes to cool slightly.
Beat in eggs one at a time on high speed. Reduce mixer to low speed and add flour, salt and baking soda. Beat until well-blended.
Chill one hour.
Roll into balls, place two inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes.
Place an Andes Mint half on top after taking them out from the oven. Allow to melt slightly and spread with a spoon.

I just had to comment on this. Your blog post came up in my google alert. What a coincidence. My name is Judy Colburn and my mom's nickname was Mitzi. Thanks for the chuckle.

PS: I'll give some of your recipes a try.

Happy Holidays.
