Christmas Cookies - Day 8

I was off work yesterday so my co-workers didn't get cookies.  Someone else mentioned that she would bring an afternoon treat but she didn't - oh well.

Anyway...today my co-workers enjoyed Chocolate Mint Cookies.  They were a big hit.  My boss ate 3 of them and he rarely eats cookies and cakes and such.  He remarked how good they were.  That made me smile.

I got the recipe from Becky Higgins






CHOCOLATE MINT COOKIES

3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 T. water

Melt in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and then add:

2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted.

Cool for 10 minutes. Pour into a mixing bowl and beat in 2 eggs.

Add:
2 1/2 c. four
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix together and chill for about 45 minutes. Roll into balls (like 1 - 1 1/2 inches big), flatten slightly, and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes (for my oven, this is the perfect time, keeping my cookies soft; your oven may be slightly different).

When cookies come out of the oven, place an Andes mint on top of each cookie and allow to melt for a few minutes. Swirl the melted chocolate like icing. Allow to cool.
