CHOCOLATE MINT COOKIES
3/4 c. butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. dark brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp. water
1 (12 oz.) bag semi sweet chocolate
pieces
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Andes Parfait chocolate mint wafers
(approximately 80)
Chocolate sprinkles
In a large saucepan over low heat, cook butter, sugar, and water until
butter is melted. Add chocolate pieces and stir until partially melted.
Remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted.
Pour into a large mixer bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool slightly. With
mixer at high speed, beat in eggs one at a time. Reduce speed to low and add
dry ingredients, beating just until blended. Chill dough one hour. Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with foil. Roll teaspoonsful of dough
into 1 inch balls; place about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 13
minutes (no longer-cookies will harden as they cool). Remove from oven and
immediately place a mint on each hot cookie. Allow mint to melt and swirl
mint on cookie. Decorate with chocolate sprinkles. Remove from cookie sheet
and let cool completely.
