Instructions
In a large pan 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 a large bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool off slightly.
At high speed, beat in eggs, one at a time into chocolate mixture. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients, beating until blended. Chill dough about 1 hour.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Roll dough into balls (I used my 1TBS cookie scoop to measure) and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
While cookies are baking unwrap mints and divide each in half. When the cookies come out of the oven, put 1/2 mint on top of each cookie.
Let the mint sit for up to 5 minutes until melted, then spread the mint on top of the cookie.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco
Chocolate Cookies on the menu? Try pairing with Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco. Sweet bubbly Prosecco doesn't overwhelm simple sugar or shortbread cookies, a sweet cream sherry complements spiced cookies, and madeira's nutty notes match cookies with nuts perfectly. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
