I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies didn't turn out at all like the picture. They were dry and crumbly.

These cookies were a disaster! The dough was too sticky and the cookies spread out too much in the oven. I ended up with a pan of flat, burnt cookies.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The chocolate cookies are rich and decadent, and the peppermint filling is light and refreshing.
