Ingredients
6 tbsp unsalted butter

2 eggs
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Mint Filling:
1 tsp peppermint extract
4 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
2 cups powdered sugar
Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the Mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir in the water.
- Combine Ingredients: Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Gradually mix in the flour and baking soda until combined.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set. Allow cooling on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the Mint Filling: In a bowl, beat softened butter, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and green food coloring until smooth.
- Assemble the Cookies: Spread or pipe the mint filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Notes
Ensure cookies are completely cool before adding the mint filling to prevent melting.
For a fun variation, try adding crushed peppermint candies to the filling for added texture.
