Sister Visit

My sister, Katie, is coming to visit this weekend!  I can't wait.  I am planning on having a wonderful relaxing weekend full of shopping, baking, eating and laughing.  One of the things we plan on making is candy cane chocolate chip cookies.  They're one of Katie's favorite Christmas desserts.  The recipe is below (basically just the recipe on the bag of Nestles semi-sweet chocolate chips plus candy canes).  I hope everyone has a restful and fun weekend!
