CHOCOLATE MINTS 3/4 c. butter or margarine 1 1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar 1 Tbsp. water 2 c. (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate pieces 2 eggs 2 1/2 c. flour 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt about 1 lb. green chocolate mint wafers (any kind of solid chocolate may be used) Over low heat cook margarine, sugar and water until margarine is melted. Add chocolate pieces and stir until almost melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool in large mixing bowl (about 10 minutes). With mixer at high speed beat in eggs one at a time. With mixer at low speed add dry ingredi- ents, beating until just blended. Chill dough about 1 hour for easier handling. Line cookie sheets with foil. Roll teaspoons of dough into balls; place about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 13 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and place mint on each cookie. Decorate with sprinkles if desired. Allow to cool before removing from foil. Makes about 80 cook- ies.
