To prepare oven, cookie sheet:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray
cookie sheet with light coating of nonstick spray.

To make wafers: On lightly floured surface, roll out portion of dough to just under 1/16-inch thick. To cut, use lid from spice container with 1 1/2-inch diameter. Arrange cut dough rounds on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool completely.

To make coating: In large microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl, combine chocolate chips with peppermint extract and shortening.

Heat on 50 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir gently. Heat for 1 minute. Stir again. (Note: If chocolate is not a smooth consistency, continue to zap in microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.)

To coat wafers: Using fork, dip each wafer in chocolate. Tap fork on edge of bowl so excess chocolate runs off. Place cookies side-by-side on wax paper. Refrigerate until firm.
