Polka-Dot Cookies (Andes Mint Cookies)

I Stumbled upon this recipe late one night and it looked so cute I just had to try it. It was from another Blogger who discovered these yummy brownie-consistency cookies. I've never made a cookie like this before. There is more chocolate than flour and sugar combined. 4 cups of chocolate chips. WOW. If that doesn't satisfy your chocolate fix I don't know what will. I couldn't find the right color of chocolate chips at my grocery store, but found little chunks of Andes Mints that tasted quite delectable. If you want the pretty picture, make sure to get the green ones. Click on other recipe's link to see the perfect polka-dot cookies.
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups green mint chips

Preheat oven to 350'. In the top of a double broiler over low heat, melt semisweet chips and butter, stirring constantly until smooth. Set aside to cool. In a small bowl combine flour, soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until light. blend in melted chocolate and then dry ingredients. Stir in green chips and chill for 10-15 minutes or until stiff. Roll about a teaspoon in your hands to make a well-formed ball and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cookies will be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool (so don't worry.)
