3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of the dough to just until 1/16" thick. To cut, use a lid from a spice container with a 1 1/2" diameter. Arrange the cut dough rounds on a cooking sheet sprayed with a light coating of non-stick spray. Bake 10 minutes. Allow wafers to cool completely.
5. Use a fork to dip each wafer in chocolate. Place dipped cookies on waxed paper. Refrigerate until firm.
4. Combine chocolate chips with peppermint extract and shortening in large microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Heat on 50 percent power for 2 minutes, stir gently, then heat for 1 minute. Stir again. Continue to microwave and stir until consistency is smooth.
