Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating Wow, these cookies tasted great! The mint and chocolate balence perfectly, and I can't wait to see how the kids at camp like them! The frosting is divine, and you don't even need the candies! Unfortunatly, they made 100 cookies that were quite flat, and through the frosting process we ended up with about 61 complete cookies and a lot of broken cookies we fashioned into cakes. Plenty of family fun though, LOL Posted July 31, 2017 by Rose Rating i try to make this recipe every holiday becouse all my coworkers love them Posted November 26, 2013 by sarah Rating Truely, outstanding tasting cookie. Quite simple to make, though the directions imply a power mixer is necessary - I made a batch of these using a good wisk and a wooden spoon. The family loved it and I brought a dozen in to work to share. I was a bit lazy though I did not use the crushed peppermint candy sprinkes (I had the candy, I just did not crush it) the icing was good enough by itseff, I did use peppermint extract for the icing this might have been the balance needed. Posted May 09, 2011 by Dave Rating An office co-worker made these with her children for Christmas season. She brought a plate of cookies in to the office after the holiday, only 1 of this receipe was present. I tried it and it was absolutely wonderful!!! Posted December 29, 2010 by Dave Rating My kids made these cookies for Christmas and they were a big hit! Everyone loved them. Posted December 28, 2010 by Rita Rating We've been making these cookies for over 20 years. Mom got booklet at the checkout line with this and another recipe we make every Yule season. Our recipe has you add the crushed candy to the frosting and make sandwich cookies out of them. Yum!
