I'm not a fan of peppermint, but these cookies were still really good. The dough is soft and chewy and the frosting is sweet and creamy.

The cookies were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as festive as I was hoping. The frosting was a little runny and the candy canes didn't stick to the cookies very well.
