Ingredients
Butter
3/4 cup (unsalted, not margarine)
Brown Sugar
1 1/2 cups (packed)
Water
2 tablespoons
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
12 ounces
Eggs
2 large
Flour
2 1/2 cups
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Baking Soda
1 1/4 teaspoons
Andes Mints
as needed (broken in half)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and water. Stir continuously until melted and combined.
3
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the mixture and stir until they are partially melted. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
4
Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time at high speed until fully incorporated.
5
Reduce the mixer speed to low, and gradually add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until well blended and a soft dough forms.
6
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour. This will firm up the dough, making it easier to shape.
7
Once chilled, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them two inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
9
Immediately after removing from the oven, press a half piece of Andes Mint onto the top of each warm cookie. Allow the mint to melt slightly, then spread with a spoon for an even topping.
