i know that we are all on diets, but break it for these cookies...seriously?!!!

Okay, so i have become a sort of cookie connoisseur of late (in other words, i really like cookies and i like to bake lots of them). and well, i think i have decided that these are truly some of the best. no joke, they are like magically delicious (minus the lepricon (how do you spell that?!?!)).

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 & 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups Guittard Green Mint Chips (the recipe is yummy with the mint chips, but if you make them with semisweet you'll be eating crazy-good double chocolate cookies)

Preheat oven to 350. In double boiler melt 1 bag semisweet chips & butter. Set aside to cool. In large bowl beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until light. Blend in melted chocolate and then dry ingredients. Stir in chips (either mint or semisweet) and chill for 20 minutes. Bake 8-10 minutes; cookies will be soft in centers but will harden as they cool.
