Mint Surprise Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (1/2 shortening okay)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (10 ounce) package andes mint chocolate chips
walnut halves

Preparation

Sift flour, soda, and salt.
Cream butter and sugar well.
Add eggs, water, and vanilla.
Blend in dry ingredients gradually; mix thoroughly.
Shape dough into rolls 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper. Chill at least four hours.
Meanwhile, melt chocolate and cut into small, round wafers (the shape isn't so important -- just enough to fill the center of the cookie).
Cut dough in slices 1/8\" thick. Place on cookie sheet. Top one slice of dough with chocolate wafer. Cover with second slice and seal edges.
Top with walnut half.
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.
