Polka Dot Cookies

Chocolate cookies with green chips as "polka dots" - delicious!
Yield: 4-5 dozen 2 inch cookies

2 cups(12oz) Semisweet Chocolate Chips (I use Guittard)
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 (12oz) Green Mint Chips (Guittard)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Heat semisweet chips and butter in a small microwave-proof bowl for 2-3 minutes, stirring well after the first minute initially, then at 30 second intervals until smooth(or use double boiler). Set aside to cool slightly.

Combine in a small bowl - flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light. Blend in melted chocolate then dry ingredients. Stir in green mint chips and chill for 10-15 minutes or until stiff. Drop by well-rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes; cookies will be soft in centers but will harden as they cool.
