    In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on High about 1 minute, stirring once, until melted. If necessary, continue to microwave in 15-second increments, stirring until smooth. Dip each sandwich cookie halfway into melted chocolate; decorate with sprinkles. Place on cooking parchment paper; let stand until set.

  • Use shamrock-shaped sprinkles for decorating to give these cookies even more St. Patrick’s Day flair!
  • Don’t have peppermint or mint extract? No worries! You can leave it out for vanilla-flavored cookies.
  • Make 32 small sandwich cookies for a fun, one-bite snack.
