andes mint cookies

Ingredients:
¾ c. butter
2 T. water
2 c. chocolate chips
2 ½ c. brown sugar
½ t. salt
2 eggs
1 ¼ t. baking soda
1 lb. Andes Mints

Directions:
In a large saucepan, on low heat, cook butter, sugar and water until the butter melts.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted. Pour into a large mixing bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
Add eggs and dry ingredients and mix well. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Roll dough into balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove from oven and place a mint on top of each cookie. Let stand for a few minutes so it can melt and then swirl with a fork.
Let cookies cool so mints become firm.
