Old-School M&M Cookies

Let me introduce to you our family’s current favorite cookie.  Please meet the old-school M&M variety.  With one of the most delicious actual cookie batters out there, as in, even if they didn’t have M&M’s, they’d still make a great cookie.  We like them with Peanut Butter M&M’s; what isn’t made better with a little touch of peanut butter in it.  Yum.  Yum.  Yum.

I had this recipe saved in my “Give it a try” folder for a LONG time, maybe a year or so, and finally dusted it off earlier this summer.  We may or may not have made them three times since then.  They’re addicting.  I can’t help it.

And read this recipe.  As far as cookies go, it can’t get much easier.

You really, really should give them a try.  Delicious.  And addicting.  But don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    Anything with M & M’s has to be good. I will make them when I know we have company coming or else I would eat them all! I have no will power with M&M’s.
