    I didn't get why you needed some white and some wheat flour nor did I get the importance of powdered milk but regardless I really liked this recipe. I used 2 eggs instead of one and 1/2 c. oil instead of 1 c. as many reviewers said they did. I also used mint choc chips. - Read more ...

    I loved this recipe and they tasted even better frozen. I don't know why people were saying it was crumbly when frozen it was perfect for me! However I gave this recipe a four because when I ate them when they were cooled the crumbled then. Next time once they are done cooling I will - Read more ...

    These cookies turned out perfectly - I think they are the best cookies I ever made. Just the right amount of peppermint although I didn't think it would be enough.

    The flavor of these cookies was delicious. But the texture left much to be desired. They came out flat and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly. I wish I had followed the suggestion to use 1/2 the oil and an extra egg and maybe even more flour? Also should have refrigerated the dough for a - Read more ...

    This recipe is really good if you use 2 eggs instead of 1 and store the batter in the refrigerator when not in use. I took the cookies to a picinic for work and won best cookie! My dad who doesn't like chocolate even liked these cookies.

    I made this recipe exactly as stated and it was indeed delicious. My only complaint is that they don't store well. A second attempt with 1/2 cup less oil and one extra egg made them perfect! No more crumbling cookies!!

    I made this recipe with a few alterations (semisweet instead of milk chocolate chips and extra peppermint extract to taste). I took them to a baking contest and won first prize in the chocolate cookie categories. The mint makes these cookies less heavy tasting than they would be otherwise. There were no kids under the - Read more ...
