Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
2. Divide dough in half. Roughly shape each portion into a 12-in. roll along the edge of a 12x12-in. sheet of waxed paper. Tightly roll waxed paper over dough, using the paper to mold the dough into a smooth roll. Securely wrap waxed paper-covered roll in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Unwrap and cut dough crosswise into 1/2-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on parchment paper-lined
4. . Bake until edges begin to brown, 13-15 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
5. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Stir in extract. Spread on the bottoms of half of the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. Let stand until set.
