Christmas Cookie Party

Last night, a group of girlfriends got together for a Christmas Cookie Party.  Some of us brought recipes/ingredients for specific cookies -- others brought decorating supplies and cookie cutters for traditional Christmas Sugar Cookies.
 
  
I brought stuff to make "Thin Mint" Cookies.
{Ingredients}
Ritz Crackers
Peppermint Extract
Chocolate Melts
Wax Paper
Sprinkles (optional)

{Directions}
Melt the chocolate in a double broiler or (my way) in a microwave.
Add peppermint extract to chocolate to taste.
Dip the Ritz Crackers in the chocolate.
Lay on Wax Paper to harden.
If you have sprinkles, add to top of cookie/cracker as desired before the chocolate hardens.
Viola! Homemade Thin Mint Cookies! =)

We had a TON of cookies and had so much fun! It was a great idea for a girl's night get together!
