Thin Mint Cookies (Like the Girl Scout Variety)

Thin Mint Cookies (Like the Girl Scout Variety)

1 Bag semi-sweet (or Milk Chocolate) Chocolate Chips
Peppermint Flavoring
Shortening (optional)
Ritz Crackers

Melt chocolate chips in microwave on 50% power, stirring every minute, until chips are melted. You can use a double boiler instead of microwave. Watch, though, if using microwave...chips can easily burn. If chocolate chips seem too thick, add about a tsp. of shortening.
Once chips are melted, add about a 1/4 tsp. mint flavor,adding more until mint taste you desire is achieved.

Dip ritz crackers in chocolate mixture. Lay on cookie sheet lined with waxed or parchment paper, or foil. Slip into frig until chocolate is set.

Yummy, and taste just like the girl scout version!
