Awesome. This is the first recipe I tried on allrecipes.com and it inspired me to start baking! I needed a christmas present for my mom and I made these, which she loved! Some changes... I used regular vanilla extract as was suggested by one reviewer and also crushed up about 3 candy canes for the minty flavor. For appearence, I sprinkled some powder sugar on top, which really looked very nice. Great, easy recipe! Thanks for sharing it!

AMAZING!!!! this recipe was sooo easya nd was a major hit with eveyone in my family this holiday. I recommend a small food proccessor for the cookies, and a little extra mint flavor as some already said. Makes a huge batch and they keep well in the fridge. Try it!

This was alright. I doubled the mint extract. I also used cocoa crispies instead of rice crispies. They get REALLY hard in the fridge, so I would recommend serving at room temperature. They also aren't very pretty in appearance. If they could be molded in some way, it would make them more visually appealing.

I had my doubts about this recipe when I saw how it looked - I had a hard time getting it into uniform sizes, and the cookies were not very pretty, BUT they had a really good flavor, and my girlfriends devoured them. They joked that they were ugly, but they sure did taste good. Next time I would add a drizzle or roll in powdered sugar just to make them look a little better.

This recipe is quick and easy if you use a food processor to crush the cookies. I used two teaspoons of peppermint extract and the flavor was great. For a bit of a change I rolled some of the cookies in powdered sugar.

I did not have peppermint extract, so instead I crushed up peppermint candy canes and mixed in with the melted chocolate. They were a huge hit at the party I brought them to. On a side note, the prep time is much longer then 5 minutes!

Really good! This recipe makes a bunch, but it's so easy. The only tedious part is scooping out that many cookies. I used Trader Joe's Candy Cane Joe-Joe's for the sandwich cookies, so I only used 1 tsp of extract. They were VERY minty, so if I were to do it again with the same cookies, I'd cut the peppermint extract in half.

Great cookie recipe. I did add 2 tsp. of peppermint extract instead of one, and they taste perfect. The flavor reminds me of Girl Scouts Thin Mints. The recipe makes a lot of cookies, which is good since I was making cookies for a lot of teachers. Definitely a keeper!

A delicious new addition to the Christmas cookie plate. I also added a cup of shaved coconut, the extra tsp of peppermint, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Terrific! Easy!

A very quick and easy recipie. The cookie had good texture and was crispy. I added an extra tsp of peppermint extract as stated by another reviewer. I think next time instead of semi-sweet chocolates, I will replace them with andies mints so that would be just one less step and the minty taste will be assured.

Definately a keeper!! So easy to make, my 2 year old helped. I thought it was asking for too much chocolate, but it was perfect. The only thing I would recommend is to add an extra teaspoon of mint extract. I could only slightly taste it. And make sure you mix the chocolate and mint well, because some of them didn't taste minty, and others did. An excellent recipe, and made in no time at all!!!
