Andes Mint Cookies, for another minty treat

Andes Mint Cookies

1 pkg Andes Mints(choc/green mint is nice)
3/4 c. margarine or butter
1 1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 T. water
2 c. semi sweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/4 baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Break or cut each mint in half. Do this before you start baking cookies.
In large saucepan, over low heat, cook butter, sugar and water until melted. Add chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until chips are melted. Pour into large bowl and let stand 10 min. to cool. With mixer at high speed, beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low. Add dry ingredients beating until blended. Chill dough 1 hour or more for easier handling(I often make the dough the day ahead). Roll 1 teaspoon of dough into a ball. Place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 350 for 10 to 12 minutes ( do not overbake) Cookie will crisp as it cools. Remove from oven and place 1/2 mint on each cookie immediately. Allow mint to soften, then swirl mint over cookie with knife. Enjoy!!!
