Mint chocolate cookies

So, a few people asked for this recipe and I am happy to share! WARNING: These cookies are delicious and you will consume 5 before you know it. I normally only make them at Christmas time when I make a lot of cookies to share. These cookies are not made like the traditional cookie is. You start on the stove, move it to the fridge, and then to the oven. Well worth every bit of work!!

 

Ingredients needed: 

 

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 AP flour

1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

one box of Andes mint wafers

 

Directions: 

 

In a large pan, cook the butter, sugar, and water on low until it is melted. Add in the chocolate chips and stir until it is partially melted. Take the pan off and continue to stir until completed melted. Let it cool in a large bowl for 10 minutes. While it is cooling, add the dry ingredients into a separate bowl. Once it is slightly cool, beat in the eggs one at a time at a high speed. Reduce the speed and add the dry ingredients. Chill the dough for AT LEAST one hour in the fridge. Bake it in the oven at 350* for 8-10 minutes. I have found it important to place the dough back in the fridge while not in use. While the cookies are baking, start to take the wrapper off the mints. Place a half a wafer onto each cookie after it's baked. Wait 5 minutes and then spread over the rest of the cookie. 

 

Try it and let me know what you think!!
