Chocolate Mint Cookies
Of all my cookie recipes, these are my family's favorites. When they're given a choice between them and store-bought mint cookies, these win hands down.
54 Servings
Prep: 35 min. Bake: 10 min./batch
Ingredients
3/4 cup butter
1-1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 packages (4.67 ounces
each
) mint Andes candies, halved
Directions
In a small heavy saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and water;
cook over low heat until butter is melted. Remove from the heat;
stir in chips until melted.
Transfer to a large bowl; cool for 10 minutes. Add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking soda
and salt; gradually add to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Cover
and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until surface cracks. Remove
to wire racks. Immediately place half of a mint candy on each
cookie. Let stand until candy begins to melt; spread with a knife.
Yield: about 9 dozen.
