Chocolate Mint Shortbread Cookies

1 {7 1/2 oz} package chocolate-covered mint patties
1 {7 1/2 oz} package of shortbread cookies
1 to 2 teaspoons milk {optional}

PUT the patties in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. REMOVE from heat. IF the frosting is too thick to spread, stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons milk. FROST the shortbread cookies with melted patties. LET the cookies stand on waxed paper until the frosting sets. {Victoria 1993} To give as gift.......place in a pretty tartan pattern tin.....or a pretty Christmas Tin. This is great for birthday gifts and Valentine's Day too.
