Have a serious chocolate craving? Try these. They are sure to satisfy, and they couldn't be easier. And they would be perfect for a holiday party (in 5 months or so... but who's counting?).
Andes Mint Cookies
Yields 4 dozen cookies
3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 T. water
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (one 12 oz bag)
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 package Andes mints, unwrap 'em
Combine butter, brown sugar and water in saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted. Pour into large mixing bowl, and cool 10 minutes. Beat in 2 eggs. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Cover tightly, and chill for 45 minutes in refrigerator.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove cookies from fridge, and roll into 1" balls (I use my little cookie scoop... LOVE it!), and place on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove and IMMEDIATELY add 1 Andes mint to each. Let melt for several minutes. [Refrain from screaming, "I'm melting, melting! Oh, what a world, what world!" (from The Wizard of Oz... remember?) or your husband will look at you weird.]
Swirl with spoon (or your finger, if you're feeling dangerous) and allow to cool.
