Ingredients
- 3/4 cup salted butter
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 packages of Andes mints unwrapped
Instructions
- Combine the butter, brown sugar, and water in a large microwave-safe bowl, then add in the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst, until the butter and chocolate are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the chocolate mixture and beat well using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into small balls, roughly the size of walnuts, and space about 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set around the edges and cracked on top, but be careful not to overbake.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and wait for 1 minute before topping each cookie with an unwrapped Andes mint. The chocolate mints will melt in about 60 seconds from the residual heat in the cookies. As the mints melt, use a butterknife to spread the chocolate around the top of each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool completely. As they cool, the Andes Mints will set up again forming a chocolate-mint coating on top of each cookie.
