Preheat oven to 350. Roll chilled dough 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut with a 1 1/4 diameter round cutter. Place on a greased cookie sheets. Sprinkle HALF of the cookies with nuts or jimmies. Bake all cookies for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately top each PLAIN cookies with 1 mint patty. Cover mint patty cookies with nut or jimmies top cookie forming a sandwich cookie. Cool and watch that the top does not slide off the mint patty bottom. Makes about 7 1/2 dozen. Mild mint flavor makes these very good!
I use junior mints, you can buy buy the box of mints in the candy department. Put those mints on the plain cookie right away, the heat helps them melt. The mint patty, plus nuts or jimmies in the middle make a sandwich cookie that is DELICIOUS
