I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I still liked these cookies. The peppermint flavor is really strong and it helps to balance out the chocolate.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites after making macarons, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.

The cookies were a little dry, but the frosting helped to make them more moist.
