These cookies were not good. The chocolate and mint flavors did not go well together and the cookies were too dry. I would not make them again.

These cookies were a bit too minty for my taste, but they were still good. The chocolate and mint flavors were a good combination and the cookies were soft and chewy. I would make them again, but I would use less mint extract next time.
