Eatable but very dry & just a big blob of dry cookie w/ a funny taste. Adding the cream just made it worse, it's too sweet & just slides right out. will not make again.

WONDERFUL! I made a double batch, so it was a little time consuming and made lots of dishes, but was SO worth it! I agree with another reviewer that the frosting is a little runny, but I was also putting it on warm cookies, and probably a little too thick (you really don't need much frosing for these to work). To compensate I stuck them in the freezer, which I was planning to do anyways. They are quite the jaw breaker to chew out of the freezer, but that's the way we like them! If you don't plan on freezing these, make sure your cookies are completely cooled! Then ENJOY because these are y-u-m-m-y!

These are great cookies if you don't overbake them! The only problem I had with the icing was that I made time and a half of what the recipe called for and I had just enough.

These taste like moist mint Oreos. Not over-powering at all, and not as difficult as some sandwich cookies. Does require an extra half cup of confectioners sugar.

These cookies turned out great. Definately follow the 11 minute bake time - it was just right. I really enjoyed making this recipe.

I decided to try this recipe even though I didn't have any peppermint extract on hand. I followed the cookie recipe exactly and they came out perfectly! I agree with other reviews about following the baking time exactly.. if they are in even a minute too long, they will get very hard. 11 minutes seemed just right for me. I started with the normal directions for the filling, which made it too thin, and when tested in a sandwich, came running out the sides making a big mess. I ended up adding about 1/2 cup more confectioner's sugar to get it to the consistency that I thought would work between the cookies. I suggest either adding more sugar, or adding the milk gradually to get the thickness that you like. I also added a dash of vanilla extract, since I wasn't using mint, to give it a bit more flavor. After filling the cookies and letting them set, they were perfect! Not too messy, and they tasted great. And after adding to the filling, I ended up having just enough for my cookies, with just 3 left over without filling. Not bad!

Excellent - the only criticism was that my mom asked me to make them bite-sized next time so they're easier to eat!

Yikes!! Did not work out well. I followed the recipe exactly and my dough was crumbly, so much that I had to forget about using a spoon to put it on the pan I had to roll them by hand to make them hold together. The frosting was so so so good!! As for the cookie part, not too much flavor and too dry. I was so dissappointed because who doesn't like chocolte and mint! I still have some in the cupboard, trust me if they were great they would have been gone the same day!

I followed the directions to the T and they only came out what I would consider "so-so." The dough wasn't that sweet, and the frosting was overly sweet and way too runny. I couldn't seem to get the consistancy of the frosting thick enough to hold the top cookie on, and I had a large mess on my hands. Overall, they taste ok, but not great.

These cookies turned out very well! The cookie part is nice and chewey, and the mint filling was also great. The cookie is very versatile, I think I will try peanut butter and maybe a coffee filling at some point. I think a cream cheese based filling might also make these cookies even better!

My aunt use to make these for us as kids. I made them to put in our cookie plates for friends and family. Needless to say I had a hard time parting with them and had to make more for myself.

Tasty cookies! I added a bit more mint to the filling because I like a strong mint flavor. They tasted to me like mint chocolate chip ice cream!! Yum!!

Deeelish, soft and moist at 11 minutes bake time. Biting into this cookie, there is a brief delay before the mint flavor hits, during which time the sweetness of the cookie fills your mouth. The mint is powerful, and slowly fades as you're chewing, gently being replaced by the chocolate flavor, which lingers long enough to make you want another.

Excellent cookies! Watch cooking time though, if you cook a minute too long the cookies turn very hard.
