Chocolate Peppermint Snaps image

This is one of my family's favorite cookies. My brother baked them for a Boy Scout fundraiser, and they were a top seller! They look like gingersnaps, but they're flavored with peppermint candies and are quite crispy. It's no wonder they're always such a hit.

These cookies were a bit too minty for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more balanced flavor.

These cookies are the perfect balance of chocolate and peppermint. They're not too sweet and they have just the right amount of crunch.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crispy. They didn't have the nice snap that I was expecting.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the cookies to turn out right. They always end up being too dry.
