The holiday baking season is upon us!! Do you know what to bake?
This cookie was the brain child of my oldest son. He wanted a chocolate cookie with candy cane pieces on it. That is exactly what he got. I added three different types of chocolate to this cookie, and paired with the peppermint, turned out delicious!
