It’s that time of year again! Winter semester is coming to an end, so it’s time to bring in treats for all of the staff at Boyle Street Community Services. Time has been really tight lately with lots of group projects and deadlines, so all I wanted was something quick. I decided to revisit an old recipe that Roopa and I used all the time when we first started baking (so about 6 years ago). I wanted to make it a little bit more creative than regular chocolate chip cookies, so I put an Easter spin on things and used MiniEggs and white chocolate chips!
I got a lot of positive feedback on these cookies, which was great! Everybody loved the Easter/MiniEgg theme, which was excellent, but a lot of people also commented that there were very sweet. I think it would be worth it to cut out some of the sugar in the recipe itself, and reduce the amount of chocolate add ins.
Mmmm MiniEggs!
The original recipe is from Allrecipes is called “Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies” if you want to try looking it up. If you do, just be aware that the original makes enough cookies to feed a small country.
