These cookies were just okay. They were easy to make and turned out as expected, but they didn't really wow me. I might try a different candy cane cookie recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The cookies were surprisingly delicious. The peppermint flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I'll definitely be making these cookies again.

These candy cane cookies were a disappointment. The dough was difficult to work with and the cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I won't be making this recipe again.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them! They're also very easy to make, so I'll probably make them again for my kids' holiday party.

The cookies were good, but I found the dough to be a bit too sticky. I had to flour my hands and work surface quite a bit to prevent the dough from sticking. Other than that, the cookies turned out great and tasted delicious.

These cookies were a lot of fun to make, and they turned out so cute! I love the way the candy canes look swirled into the dough. The cookies were also very tasty, with a nice balance of sweetness and mint flavor. I'll definitely be making these agai

I've tried many candy cane cookie recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, with just the right amount of crunch from the candy canes. I love the festive red and white color, too. These cookies are alway
