Ingredients
  • 1 roll 16.5 ounce Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookies
  • 1 5-ounce box chocolate mint wafer candies (such as Andes)
  • 1 12-ounce bag white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening
  • Colored sugar or sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, crush chocolate wafer candies into chunks. In a larger bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in chocolate wafer candies into cookie dough until it’s well blended.
  2. Drop dough by tablespoon on ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until edges turn golden brown. Cool 5 minutes and then remove from cookie sheets to wire cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  3. Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water on the stove. Melt shortening and white chocolate chips in the bowl over low heat until chocolate has melted. Dip half of each cookie into the white chocolate mixture. Dust with colored sugar or sprinkles.
  4. Let stand until glaze is set. Store in an airtight container for three days or freeze indefinitely.
