Chewy chocolate cookies are topped with half of an Andres mint. They melt-in-your mouth, aren't too minty, and remind me of my very favorite girl scout thin mints. I found this on and made for a bake sale - they were gone in a flash! I made small cookies and used a half mint. For larger cookies, use a whole mint per cookie. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter |
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed |
2 tablespoons water |
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips |
2 eggs |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
36 andes mints candies |
Directions:
1. In a large pan over low heat, cook butter, sugar and water until butter is melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into a large bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool off slightly.
2. At high speed, beat in eggs, one at a time into chocolate mixture. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients, beating until Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Roll dough into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes. While cookies are baking unwrap mints and divide each in half. When cookies are brought out of the oven, put 1/2 mint on top of each cookie. Let the mint sit for up to 5 minutes until melted, then spread the mint on top of the cookie. Eat and enjoy!
