Candy Cane Kiss Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Last year I participated in a cookie swap by mail. I sent out cookies to three people and three people sent me cookies. It was so much fun! My favorite cookie was a Candy Cane Kiss Chocolate Chip Cookie. I made them several times last year, but never got around to posting about them.

I made a batch of the Candy Cane Kiss Chocolate Chip Cookies last week and they were amazing! So soft and full of great peppermint flavor. These cookies use a bag of chopped up Candy Cane Kisses. They make all the difference! Chicken Legs has already requested that I make him another batch ASAP!
