These did not taste good. Very dry and not at all chocolatey. But, they looked cute and were fun for the kids to decorate.

Just average... It's a lot of work, and the flavor is really kind of bland. I took these to a holiday party at work, and it was the first time I have taken something and the serving plate didn't come back empty. People let them sit.... I won't make these again!

Awesome!! Liked the cookies better without the peppermint crushed candy, also tried some of the Andes mint chocolate chips on top but we liked them the best with just the white choc. frosting on them. Delish and so festive!!

I tried these from the Kraft Recipe in a magazine so I didn't see all these great tips- I followed the recipe exactly for the cookies and the dough was oily and the cookies did flatten out a LOT - so there was not much candy cane shape. I used a bag of white choc. chips in lieu of the melted white chocolate - just microwaved it and drizzled with a plastic ziploc. We all thought the taste was really good - not too chocolatey! I used round peppermint candy for the topping - big mistake! They were so hard to crush. I will make these again as follows - 1. Round cookies, drizzle the white chocolate on, and cover with crushed candy canes (which are thinner than the hard candies).

My doughter loved to make this cookies, and the dough tastes good, but the crushed peppermint candies didn't work that well. Instead we used sprinckles on top, and they looked more festive.

After reading reviews I made these changes which resulted in a great cookie. Neighbors raved about them. Reduced cream cheese by half (less spreading "slugs"). As a choc-o-holic, the mild chocolate taste wouldn't do! Replaced 4 squares of chocolate with 3.5 oz. bar of good quality dark (I used Lindt 85%) chocolate. Lastly reduced baking to 8 minutes. The flavor was worthy, and they kept their form. Made some pretzel shapes for shipping (thought the delicate cane shape might break). Next time will do 1/2 with dark chocolate drizzle for the chocolate lovers.

These were pretty easy to throw together, I did refrigerate the dough before working with it because I wanted them to hold their shape. I also used Peppermint crunch baking chips to drizzle on top, no need to crush peppermint candies :).

My family loves these cookies. I refrigerated the dough after shaping it into balls but still had the slug-shape problem. Also, it drives me nuts when a recipe says to divide the dough into X number of balls. It's much easier for me if the recipe says to shape the dough into balls of a certain size. I found that balls of about 3/4 of an inch were the right size, though I had to make the cookie canes a bit larger, about 4 inches. No more slug shapes, and I had no trouble getting these off the cookie sheet. I also used more crushed peppermint candies to ramp up the peppermint flavor. My husband doesn't like candy, so I made some of the cookies without the peppermint, and he loved them. Finally, I ran out of white chocolate, so I made some with melted semi-sweet chocolate--not as pretty, but my family raved about them. I'll make this recipe again.

These cookies came out wonderfully, my husband keeps asking me when I'm going to be making more. I found that, just like with most other types of cookies, in order to get the desired, un-sluggish shape that you place shapped, refrigerated dough on a preheated cookie sheet. Also, this cookie isn't super-chocolaty, which I really liked. The white chocolate and peppermint actually added the most flavor overall. I'm also thinking about trying this with white chocolate instead of semi-sweet in the cookie itself and seeing how it comes out =)

I don't know what the picture is made of, but it's not this recipe. The cookies flattened out - like the other reviewers said they are sort of 'sluggish' looking. I refrigerated the dough to make them easier to work with, but I ended up leaving them in round balls also. The flavor was pretty good though, which is why I gave it 3 stars.
