- 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 6 tablespoons shortening
- Baking sheet
- Waxed paper

Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix with the flour and mix thoroughly. Add the egg, melted shortening and the oil. Mix until the dough forms a ball.
-
Step 2
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 3
Remove from refrigerator and roll the dough out to 1/16 of an inch on a lightly floured board. Cut into 1 1/2 inch circles using the cap to a small bottle as a cutter.
-
Step 4
Place on a greased cookie sheet so that the cookies are not touching. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Step 5
Remove and cool.
-
Step 1
Combine the chocolate chips, peppermint, and shortening in a double boiler and heat until melted thoroughly and smooth.
-
Step 2
Stir to create a creamy smooth consistency.
-
Step 3
Remove from heat, but allow the coating to sit in the double boiler to prevent it from hardening too quickly.
-
Step 4
Dip chocolate wafers into the chocolate to coat. Use a fork or tongs to dip the cookie. Be sure to tap the cookie on the side of the pan to remove excess chocolate coating.
-
Step 5
Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with waxed paper and allow to cool completely.
