Candy Cane M&M Cookies
Happy 18th Day of December! Remember those m&m cookies from yesterday, well meet their festive sister: candy cane m&m cookies. It is the same basic cookie recipe with some peppermint extract and crushed candy canes! Being the peppermint lover that I am, I tend to gravitate toward these yummy nuggets. However, David prefers the plain ones because he is not super into the peppermint thing (weird, I know). I used the fancy Christmas m&ms and those cute little mini candy canes, but feel free to use whatever chocolate candies and peppermint you like.
