Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter, cubed
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Filling:
2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Dash salt
3 drops green food coloring, optional

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, water and chocolate chips. Cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted. Cool. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° until firm, 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, butter, milk, extract, salt and, if desired, food coloring until smooth. Spread on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
