  1. These were ok. They weren't quite chewy or minty enough for my taste but my friends liked them. 3.5 stars from me and since everyone else like I'll round up to 4.
     
  2. These cookies were very good! I made them for the 7 yr olds at church and they gobbled them up. :) Just enough peppermint so you know it's there, but it's not overpowering. I cut the recipe in half and ended up with about 60 small crispy cookies. DH ate about 10 in one sitting; we loved them!
     
  3. I liked the mint flavor in these cookies. Chocolate and mint go together well. I would definitely make them again.
     
  4. Terrific recipe. Made this by hand - no mixer and it very was very easy. I used vanilla extract becuse I added a bag of the Nestle choc/mint swirled morsels. Dusted them w/powdered sugar - they're pretty and incredibly yummy. The perfect cookie consistency. Got 60 cookies. Thanks!
     
  5. I made this for my DS, he loved them! I chilled the dough for a couple of hours before baking them, I also added in some mini chocolate chips, thanks hon!...Kitten:)
