It’s no secret that chocolate and mint is one of my favourite combinations. So, when I saw the candy cane Mini Eggs, I knew I had to pick some up.
While thoughts of using them to top cupcakes first came to mind, the eggs were just begging to be crushed and put into cookies. More per bite, right?
I used one of our favourite chocolate chip cookie recipes and added the crushed mini eggs. You can use all the candy to replace the chocolate chips or do a mix of both. I did a mix of both because I can’t resist the ooey gooey chocolate as it comes out of the oven. One cup of whichever you choose, or combination is perfect, although when it comes to chocolate, measure with love.
These candy cane Mini Egg cookies are a welcome treat in a holiday gift box or as part of a cookie exchange. And don’t forget to leave some out for Santa!
