I shared Brian’s grandmother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe on the blog back in 2017, and today I’m sharing those same cookies with a twist that’s perfect for the holidays… candy cane!
Before I talk about the new recipe, let’s revisit the original recipe… these chocolate chip cookies are the epitome of the perfect cookie. They are gooey on the inside and chewy around the edges and they are, by far, my favorite chocolate chip cookies of all-time, homemade or store-bought.
Last Christmas, Brian decided to add a little twist to the OG cookie recipe to make something special for Christmas Eve, and y’all, just when I thought the original cookies couldn’t get any better, they did.
These are spectacular! They were so good that I literally grabbed a plateful to photograph last Christmas Eve right after Brian made them because I knew I’d want to post them on the blog this year. So, the pictures you’re seeing today were actually taken last Christmas Eve! We plan to have them again this year, and I can’t wait!
Enough rambling… let’s get to the recipe!
