These look so pretty on a cookie tray but the flavor is just okay. I drizzled the glaze on the cookies using a paistry bag with a very small tip and they came out looking great.

As is, I thought they needed more peppermint extract. I also was expecting more of a buttery, meltaway cookie and they were't. The candy canes also melted on my sheet pan, so maybe they were too big. I did add peppermint extract to the frosting to kind of pump up the flavor and that did help. I don't know if I would make these again though.

These are pretty and taste great but mine look nothing like the picture. They came out very flat. Next time I'll use cake flour and see if that helps.

GREAT COOKIE! My 4 year old & I just finished baking a batch. Our batch made about 4.5 dozen. I followed the cookie recipe exact but used a different glaze for the cookie (hence the 4 stars). All 5 of us LOVE this cookie! Thanks for a great recipe.

These are the best cookies ever! I couldn't find the peppermint candies needed to make these cookies so I used one box of candy canes and it was the exact amount needed. I also used my Magic Bullet to crush the candy and it worked perfectly! I used the shaker top to sprinkle the candy on top of the iced cookies! MMMM, thank you!

I made these cookies about a week ago now, and they were awesome! My mom and dad loved them. They were a bit of a messy cleanup, because the candy canes and the glaze got everything all sticky, but it was absolutely worth it.... However, I did not roll them in sugar, because the first batch I made tasted too sweet, so I omitted it. Other than that, it is definitely going to be a Christmas staple, and I'm going to make them for the Christmas party at my youth group! :)

WOW! These are great!! I goofed a little and added the entire cup of peppermint to the batter, but it tasted great anyways. I drizzed w/glaze and sprinkled with red sugar instead of peppermint. I also made a small batch and added white chocolate chips to those...they taste good too. Ilove it! This recipies a keeper ;-) Thank you.

This is a great, festive cookie, but I'd leave off the glaze. It does make it more appealing, but I didn't like the favor change.

These were good but not my family's favorite... next time I will stick with my regular sugar cookie recipe and use the frosting and peppermint technique. Thanks :)

These cookie were perfect recipe. They were easy and I love easy. My son and I made these on New Year's Eve (trying to rid ourselves of the candy canes in the house) and after they cooled we stored them in a large Tupperware container. The flavor enhanced overnight and we iced them today. We are taking them to my stepdaughter's house. They made just about 60 like stated--some of dough balls were larger than others. I believe I had 58, so had we made some smaller there would have been well over 60. There was one review that stated the cookie was dry. It is not a chewy cookie and they are fab with milk or coffee. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Pretty for the holidays, but they were a little dry, and not exceptionally flavorful. Maybe I'll add some sour cream to them if I make them again.

These cookies got rave reviews this year! My sister and I teamed up to make them, and my mom said that they were the best cookies she had ever had in her entire life (she's not a people pleaser either, so we know she meant it!). Here's a tip for crushing up candy canes or peppermint candy: unwrap them and put them in a plastic bag. use a mallet or meat tenderizer to crush. works like a charm.

So yummy and easy. I was looking for a quick and fun recipe to make with my 3 and 5 year olds. Sugar cookies sounded fun, but didn't want to wait for the dough to chill. I rolled the balls to get the right size, let them roll them in sugar, and then let them decorate in either crushed candy canes or colored sprinkles. They had a blast and the cookies turned out great. Thanks for a new holiday tradition!

This recipe was AWESOME...I forgot to roll the first batch in sugar, which ended up tasting better because it wasn't as sweet and gritty. I also baked for 10 minutes. I ground candy canes in a Magic Bullet, which turned out beautifully...the colors looked like speckles..Thanks

This is a delicious cookie, and it looks so pretty as a Christmas dessert! I made mine in 1" balls, and they were perfectly set at 10 minutes. To me, 3 Tbsp. of milk made the glaze a little too runny, so next time I would cut back a tiny bit. I got several compliments on them, and I will be making these again!
