3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 c. packed dark brown sugar
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp. water
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Green chocolate mint wafers (about 1 lb.) (If green not available use any kind of solid chocolate mint
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)

In a large heavy saucepan over low heat cook butter, sugar and water until butter is melted. Add chocolate pieces and stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into large mixer bowl and let stand about 10 minutes to cool slightly. With mixer at high speed, beat in eggs one at a time. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients, beating just until blended. Chill dough 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake 12 to 13 minutes ONLY. Remove from oven and immediately place mint on each hot cookie. Allow to soften, then swirl mint over cookie. If desired shake on chocolate sprinkles.
