Mint chocolate chip cookies around the holiday are always welcomed at our house, especially when they’re chock full of M&M’s!
We found holiday and used those in our cookies instead of just chocolate chips. We also used white chocolate chips. So, these Christmas cookies are delicious and don’t last long!
This recipe makes about 5 dozen cookies. So whenever we make a batch, we end up bringing most of them to work. They’re so good that they don’t last….they’re usually scarfed up by 9 Am!
Cookies for breakfast? Apparently so!
I suppose if you toss in a glass of milk, why not?
If you’re looking for an easy mint chocolate chip cookie recipe, this is definitely the one for you!
It’s nearly foolproof and they’re always a hit at holiday parties. And of course, Santa wouldn’t mind finding a few for him on Christmas eve!
