This recipe came from my recipe buddy, Marcia McCormick

Chocolate Mint Creams

1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup brown sugar
6 TB butter
1 TB water
6 oz (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 egg
1/2- 3/4 lb pastel mint kisses

Sift together flour and baking soda. In medium pan heat and stir brown sugar, butter, and water over low heat until butter is melted. Add chocolate chips and continue to heat and stir until chocolate is melted. Pour into large mixing bowl and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Beat egg into chocolate mixture, then stir in flour mixture (dough will be soft). Cover and chill for 1-2 hours or until easy to handle. Shape into 1" balls and place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 350* for 8 minutes. Remove and immediately top each cookie with a mint. Return to oven, bake about 2 more minutes. Swirl melted mints to frost cookies. Don't overbake!
