Chocolate Mint Chip Candy Cane Cookies

Tell me these Chocolate Mint Candy Cane Cookies doesn’t look Christmas-y! This is a great recipe to bake with the kids this Holiday season. They will love rolling the cookie dough into balls and then dipping them in chopped candy canes.

Between the cookie dough, mint chocolate chips and candy canes those little hands are sure to be busy sampling the ingredients. The finished cookies are crispy and chewy with plenty of chocolate mint flavour.

Since there is plenty of mint flavour from the candy cane , so if you prefer, you can always use regular chocolate chips.

One tip for the candy canes is not to chop the pieces too small and try to concentrate them at the centre of the outside of the cookie dough ball. If they are too close to the edges, they will melt in the oven if they hit the baking sheet. I think this recipe would be great for holiday gift giving too.
