3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 c. dark brown sugar
2 tbsp. water
12 oz. pkg. chocolate chips
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Pastel chocolate mint wafers (1 lb.)
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)

In large saucepan over low heat, cook butter, sugar, and water until butter is melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and continue to 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 about 1 hour for easier handling. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Roll teaspoon of dough into balls. Place about 2 inches apart on sheet. Bake 12-13 minutes - no longer. Cookies will crisp as they cool

Remove from oven and immediately place wafer on each hot cookie. Allow to soften, then swirl mint over each cookie. Decorate with sprinkles if desired. Remove from cookie sheets to cool completely. Makes about 7-8 dozen cookies.
