Mint Sandwich Cookies

Submitted by Old widow

"I found this recipe in a TOH cookbook some years a go. It is a quick sandwich cookie if you are in a time crunch during the holidays. I used Ritz crackers and they remained crisp for about a week when stored in an airtight container. Cooking time includes time for chocolate to set."
