Looking for a great way to get rid of all your leftover Easter candy? Try these delicious Easter candy cookies!
I simply took a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe of mine and replaced the chocolate chips with a mixture of leftover Easter candy. Chopped up Reese Easter eggs, kit-kats, and M&Ms created a delicious chocolatey, peanut buttery cookie!
The pastel Easter M&Ms made for a beautiful and yummy cookie!
The dough is a great base for any delicious additions you would like to add.
Look at all of that candy!
These cookies are the perfect chewy, soft texture with chocolate goodness in every bite!
