Line baking sheets with parchment.  Roll balls into 1" diameter balls and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Place unwrapped mint on top of warm cookie as soon as you remove it from the oven.  After the mints have softened, spread them over the cookies.  Let chocolate set at room temperature.

These freeze beautifully.
