Lately this year, I’ve been receiving questions for Easter-themed gift ideas, with the question typically being framed around gifts for one’s guests. t’s an understandable quandary, since a bottle of wine is always a polite gift for a host, but there is no such rule of thumb for a gift as a host to one’s guests.
While one would certainly be correct in saying that simply being a good host is a gift enough to one’s guests, there’s also no harm in traveling that proverbial extra mile, and only the adoration of one’s guests to be gained. However, like pairing the right wine with the right tapas, the gift given by the host should be apropos to the setting, themed either to what is being served, to the season, to the holiday if one is being celebrated, or ideally to all three.
With Easter around the corner, sweets are the order of the day, with white chocolate and candy bunnies taking center stage. However, I wanted to do something less than expected for my guests, and if you are like me, your guests already have more chocolate bunnies than they could possibly eat in the course of a year.
That is where these Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies come into play. Baked to a fine crisp, these cookies come ‘loaded’ with milk chocolate and caramel pecans, with the addition of white chocolate morsels. While no more difficult to prepare than regular chocolate chip cookies, they will nevertheless make your guests believe that you traveled that extra proverbial mile, and returned with treats to tell the journey’s tale.
