These cookies are delicious, but they are very rich. I would recommend cutting the recipe in half if you're making them for a large group.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies came out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The chocolate chips really balance out the mint flavor.
