ANDES MINT COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 tsp. soda
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• Andes mints*

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a pan, melt the butter, brown sugar and water together.
2. After they are melted, add the chocolate chips. Stir together, take off the heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes. 
3. In a mixer, stir together the eggs and vanilla. Next, add the salt and soda. Slowly drizzle in the chocolate and then add the flour.
4. Chill for one hour in the fridge.
5. After an hour, preheat oven to 350.
6. Bake for 8-9 minutes.
7. Take the cookies out of the oven and place 1/2 to a whole Andes mint on top*. Allow it to melt and then spread it out with a knife or off-set spatula.

*For each cookie, 1/2 an Andes was enough for me, but I'm not much of a mint lover. If you love mint, you might like to add a whole Andes.

Note: I liked the cookies plain, too!
