      Absolutely WONDERFUL!!! The first bite was good but got better the longer it was in my mouth. I would definitely recomend!!! My family has a new Christmas favorite.

      I clipped this recipe from a Land O'Lakes ad. These are very good - buttery and not too minty. I also think they would be good with a chocolate-mint drizzle or with other flavorings, such as lemon. I didn't find them as fragile as others; perhaps because I did make them a little smaller than called for. I agree with the poster that said there was alot of glaze and if you double the recipe you don't need to double the glaze.

      A little difficult to deal with because they were so fragile. They were very tasty, however.

      I'm not leaving a star review because I think that it's just a matter of taste preference. My hubby and I really didn't care for the texture. I think it was the corn starch that made it more "pasty" for us. The frosting is good and the idea is good - maybe next time I'll make it like a wedding cake, only with the mint flavor and no corn starch. Thanks for posting and it looks like everyone else really is enjoying it! Made for I Recommend Tag game.

      Boy, these are really, really pretty & Christmasy!! And, the cookies are nice & tender, too! I thought with the peppermint in the cookie, frosting & garnish that the flavour would have been stronger. The only problem with these cookies is that the crushed candy gets really gooey after a day or two & the cookies stick to each other and the waxed paper.

      Please add my name to those who have before me confessed "I can't stop eating them." Enough said.

      These were really good. I thought they would have a stronger peppermint flavor, so next time will probably increase the amount of flavoring in the cookie. I used peppermint sprinkles and they turned out really pretty! They do melt in your mouth and are quite addicting.

      These were very good. I guess I was expecting more of a sweeter peppermint cookie, which these definitely were minty, but not as sweet as I had expected. I doubled the cookie and glaze recipes and ended up with WAAAY too much glaze. If you're doubling, I would suggest only doubling the cookies, not the glaze.

      These are amazing!!! The best cookie I have made for the holidays hands down! I gave them as gifts and everyone asked for more. Super easy to make and will make them year round!

      So delightfully tender and delicate! Thanks so much, these are absolutely delicious. About all I changed were some adjustments for high altitude adjustments. Also, I was lacking in mint extract so I powdered up a few mini candy canes and used a table spoon of that instead. WILL make again. Thanks!

      Great cookie! Just what I needed to make as a treat for a child who can't eat chocolate, but loves sweets. This was perfect - tender, and they do just melt in your mouth.

      Marg, these are so yummy! I doubled the recipe thinking to give some as presents...well, there's not enough left to give away now! I added a few drops of red food coloring to the cookie dough too and I have the prettiest little pink cookie you ever saw! They just melt in your mouth and the peppermint flavor is so refreshing and not overpowering at all. Mmmm, these will be a regular part of my Christmas baking from now on, and probably throughout the year! Thank Marg for a great recipe!

      Oh Marg I knew I would be in trouble when I saw the sprinkles. I lovee sprinkles. I was amazed how these cookies melted in our mouths. Our 13 year old came down and had one in his mouth and I said how are they? He said as he had his mouth full, Mom these are good,hehe I can't wait for the holiday's to make them both ways but I can see I will have to double the recipe for sprinkles and peppermint candies. These are great, thanks for another keeper and one that will be given to everyone this holiday season.. :)

      My husband snatched one of the unfrosted cookies from the cooling rack and said, "Wow!" When I offered him one after I had frosted and added the crushed candy canes, he said, "This is even better!" What more do I need to say? LOL I made my cookies a bit smaller for my Christmas cookie trays. Due to the make-up of these cookies, this made them a little fragile. The awesome melt-in-your-mouth flavor made up for it, though. Thanks for posting.
