The first batch was dry and overly minty. I changed the margarine to 1/2 C butter and adjusted the vanilla and peppermint to 2 tsp each. The flavor and texture was improved. Reviews from family and friends was okay but not great.

I've made these with a recipe very similar. First of all the candy canes need to be ground much finer, using some in the cookie dough as well as topping. Second, I use melted chocolate chips to spread on the cookies. Much better than white chocolate.
