Chocolate {Mint} Cookies

These cookies are so good we've made them twice in the last couple of weeks. They're like a soft thin mint cookie. It makes a ton so make sure to have reasons to give them away. It makes about 60 cookies. ENJOY!

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons water
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate one time and it worked great too!)
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 package Andes Mints
Parchment Paper

In a large suace pan over low heat, cook butter, brown sugar and water until melted. Add chocolate chips. Stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and stir until all melted. Cool for 10 min. With mixer, add one egg at a time. Then add dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Chill dough about 2 hrs. Roll teaspoons of dough into balls. {I used a small cookie scoop and it was perfect!} Bake for 12-13 minutes at 350 on PARCHMENT PAPER. Remove from oven and immediately place 1/2 mint on each cookie. Allow to melt and swirl with the bottom of a spoon. Cool completely. Makes about 60 cookies.
