Reviews
I used mini chips and they worked out perfectly. I really like the hint of mint with the candy cane pieces mixed in with the chocolate. I did use white flour instead of whole wheat as I didn't have any on-hand. The only thing that I found with this was I had to extend the baking time to about 13 minutes. Not sure why they needed so much time but they did. They also came off of the cookie sheet easier if I left them on to cool for about 2 minutes.
