Malted Robin Egg Cookies

I know Easter is over but I just had to post this recipe.  When it comes to Easter candy, Robin Eggs are hands down my favorite.  I usually buy them right when they appear on the grocery store shelves after Valentine's Day and don't stop eating them until long after Easter.  That's right, I stock up before Easter is over so that I can eat them long after the holiday ends. Yes, I'm that obsessed.  So, a few days ago, it hit me:  Robin Egg Cookies!  Why had I not thought of this before?!  I decided to use my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and add malt powder and crushed Robin Eggs.  I then googled it and apparently lots of other people have thought up this concoction too.  Anyways, they turned out delicious, chewy and perfect for Easter!!  So cute and colorful.
