Murder Takes a Breather--Chocolate Cookies

Good Morning all,  we are taking a breather from Murder Mystery Cooking today.  I've got to increase my stash of murder mysteries with recipes.  But I have a family favorite to share with you today, a no bake chocolate cookie recipe.  Now who doesn't love chocolate.  This is a very easy recipe even the little ones can help make it.

                                               Chocolate Mint Wafers

                                               4 ounces dark chocolate candy coating
                                               1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
                                               18 to 24 vanilla wafers

Place candy coating in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30-60 seconds or until smooth, stirring every 15 seconds.  Stir in extract.  Dip vanilla wafers in coating; place on waxed paper until set.  Store in an airtight container. Makes 1 1/2 dozen cookies.  Note you can make this with other extracts i.e. banana, orange etc.
