M&M Cookies
By Allrecipes

I made these for the first time for my sister's cast party, and I have to say they were a big hit. I absolutely loved them and so did the little 4th-7th graders in the cast. My Dad also loved them and ate all the ones I left for the house, leaving me with no cookies to take pictures of, unfortunately.

I hope you like them, too!!!
