We have a tradition in our home to make homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies every Sunday. This is a tradition I started with my dad and have carried on with my kids. Friends usually pop over to spend the evening so there aren’t tons lefts over. But whatever is leftover, we put in a freezer, gallon sized ziplock bag and freeze for later. They come in handy when someone is having a bad day, when unexpected guests drop by or when you you’re craving a little sugar. Just defrost them in the microwave for about 15 seconds or let them get to room temperature on a plate.
This past Sunday, we made our favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies (Grandma Sandi’s recipe) with a twist for Spring. Instead of adding chocolate chips to the batter, we added white chocolate chips with some crushed up mini Cadbury eggs. Once out of the oven, we added 2-3 more mini eggs to the top. OH MY GOODNESS you guys, they were SO GOOD! I had to share this simple twist on a Garrett classic! I know you will love them! This little change is giving me all kinds of ideas for more twists on the classic cookie base we love!
I’ll share the recipe below and if you haven’t tried making our family’s favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe, give it a try, it’s delicious!
I hope you make them and love them!
