I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but these cookies were still really good. The shortbread base is delicious and the peppermint flavor is not overpowering.

The peppermint flavor in these cookies is nice, but I think I would have preferred a chocolate shortbread base. That was my preference, not a problem with the recipe.
