1. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30seconds. Add in the sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Beat till combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in Large eggs, water and vanilla till combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
2. Divide dough in half. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigeratefor 2 hrs or possibly till dough is easy to handle. Cut mints crosswise into halves. Shape dough into 1 1/4" balls. Flatten the ball slightly and place 2 mint halves atop each other in the center of the dough. Shape dough up and around mint halves and roll into balls. (Mints should be completely covered by dough.) Repeat with remaining dough and mints. Place cookies 2" apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake in a 375 oven about 8 min or possibly till golden brown. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cold completely. If you like, add in Chocolate Drizzle and a few chocolate-mint curls.
