Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons water
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter ( Land O’Lakes recommended)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon mint extract or 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 -4 tablespoons milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine brown sugar, 3/4 cup butter, and water in a heavy 3-quart saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted (3 to 4 minutes).
Add chocolate chips; cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and smooth (1-2 minutes).
Remove from heat.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, until mixture is smooth.
Stir in all remaining cookie ingredients.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 6-8 minutes or until set.
Let stand 1 minute before removing from cookie sheets, and cool completely.
Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients EXCEPT milk in a large mixing bowl.
Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often.
Gradually add enough milk to reach desired spreading consistency.
Spread about 2 teaspoons of frosting onto flat side of one cookie; top with second cookie, flat side down.
Gently squeeze together.
Repeat with remaining cookies.
Store well-wrapped, or in an airtight container.
