Baking is one of my favorite things to do. I am always looking for new recipes to try or different ingredients to use. With the holiday season coming quickly, I wanted to help get in the holiday spirit. I decided to give my standard Chocolate Cookies a Twist.
My curiosity got the best of me, and I had to at least make 1 sheet, just to try them. I was very happy with how the cookies turned out, and have to say they were a big hit at Thanksgiving Dinner.

I think I’m going to make these for my MOPS cookie exchange! Did you put the crushed candy canes on top prior to cooking?

Hi Sharon – Yes I did add the candy cane before I cooked them :)
