I made these and they were so delicious! I used half dark chocolate chips and half white chocolate chips. I made a double batch and barely had enough to share! I took these to school (where I work) and got a lot of compliments. I am wondering if you used peppermint oil instead of peppermint extract because that would definitely alter the flavor. I was worried about the peppermint flavor being overpowering, but I could taste only a hint of it with the chocolate combination. I would definitely recommend this recipe! In fact, I'm going to make them again in a few days to share for Christmas!

I loved these cookies, especially the dough. I disagree about the peppermint though. I hate mint extract and only use peppermint.

Just made these with peppermint extract (it was all I had, and I was in the mood for something minty) and substituted semisweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate. They are wonderful! The dough was perfect. I hate working with sticky doughs, and this was moist without being sticky at all. The cookies came out chewy after 9 minutes and taste amazing! Thanks for posting the recipe. Love these!

I just made these cookies and they are soooooo freaking good. Seriously. I was a little scared off by your warning about the peppermint extract so I actually made 2 batches... 1 with peppermint extract, and 1 with a teaspoon of vanilla instead. They both came out perfect. Even if you don't want to make them with the peppermint extract give them another shot with vanilla instead. This may be my new go to CCC recipe. They are perfectly thick, with an ever so slightly crispy exterior and a chewy center. I'm gonna blog about them sometime soon (I hope!). Oh, and I cooked them at 350 for exactly 11 minutes.

I just made this yesterday, and used your suggestion of substituting the mint extract for the peppermint extract. They turned out wonderfully, and were a huge hit! Definitely a new Christmas time cookie, as they taste (and smell) so festive.

OMG, these are great. I made them the other day and everyone loved them! I am definitely going to use this recipe for Christmas treats. Thanks!

(I'm sorry you didn't like them!)

These look AMAZING! So soft, chewy and homey. I'm thinking of making them more chocolately by adding some cocoa powder or melted chocolate to the flour mixture.

I'll definitely be using this recipe!

I don't like peppermint, I would use vanilla. Anyway, the cookies look great!

Eek, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the peppermint extract. The texture looks like exactly what I want in a cookie though. Thick, chewy, delicious!

2009-12-08T13:41:24.351-08:00

Hmmm maybe you just used a bad brand of extract? I really don't think you should use spearmint, that will just taste like toothpaste (I speak from experience, and a discarded batch of ice cream). I would always say peppermint is the way to go, so I don't know what went wrong here!

I'm sorry you didn't like these cookies. If you have access to some fresh mint you could try add some ground leaves to the dough.

But I do agree with you on the texture and taste! :)

LOL
I posted chocolate peppermint cookies today too! So funny. But I have to say that I really like peppermint extract. I'm not a fan of spearmint's flavor, but I adore peppermint and I found it added an awesome, festive flavor to my cookies.
These look so pretty, it's a shame you didn't like them! I hope somebody enjoyed them for you. :)
