Andes Mint cookies



Andes Mint Cookies
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces Andes mints
Pecan halves

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, cream sugars and butter or margarine. Add eggs and water. Beat well. Mix flour, baking soda and salt well. Add gradually to egg mixture. Chill dough overnight (it is important that the dough be well chilled). Wrap each mint completely in cookie dough. Place 2" apart on lightly greased cookie sheets and put a nut half on top of each cookie. Bake 7-9 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool thoroughly on wire racks.

Review: A cookie you would probably only eat around Christmas. Rich, minty, yummy!! I'm not a huge fan of pecans but I put them on there so the cookie wouldn't look boring. I think They might be really good with some white chocolate drizzled over them
