These cookies were a disaster! I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out flat and hard. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm not going to try making them again.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I make them, I'll use less sugar. Overall, I'm happy with how these cookies turned out and I would recommend them to others.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate and peppermint flavors balance each other out perfectly, and the cookies are so soft and chewy. I would definitely recommend these cookies to anyone, even if yo
