Mint Wafer Cookies

¾ cup butter

1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar

2 teaspoons water

1 ¾ cups mint chocolate chips

2 eggs

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

20 chocolate covered thin mints

In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, water and mint chocolate chips. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.

Beat the eggs into the chocolate mixture one at a time. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the chocolate mixture. Cover dough, and chill for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place 1 1/2 inches apart onto an unprepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 to 13 minutes in the preheated oven. As soon as the cookies are out of the oven, place 1/2 of a mint candy on top of each one. Let sit for 30 seconds, then swirl with a toothpick. Cool on wire racks.
