"This is a wonderful chocolaty, mint, sandwich cookie. A little time-consuming, but not hard to make, and so worth it. Unsure yields and where I got this recipe. Times do not include chilling time for the dough."

This recipe makes about 10 dozen cookies. They are small but worth the time and makes a great gift!
