The tops of these brownie-like cookies look as if they've been shattered. Coat the balls of dough thoroughly in confectioners' sugar before they go in the oven. They'll flatten and "crack" on their own as they bake.

    I agree with the previous reviewer who said these cookies are bland. I used high-quality peppermint extract, chocolate, and cocoa powder, and they came out without much flavor.

    I tried making these cookies a while back and replaced the mint flavoring with orange flavoring and they were sooooo good! The combo of orange and chocolate was perfect and I almost couldn't stop eating them!

    Sorry, but these cookies are boring. The chocolate flavor was rich but felt they were bland, perhaps not enough sugar in the recipe. Not worth the effort.

    These cookies are delicious!!! The hint of mint is perfect with the chocolate and powdered sugar. Also, the recipe doubled beautifully.
