Mini M&M Cookies is my recipe of the day for the annual blogging event Christmas Cookies Week. My blogging friends and I have been doing this one for a few years now. It’s always something I look forward to. Especially since cookie baking is so much fun.
I decided to post a recipe for M&M’s cookies, which is a childhood favorite of many. It is essentially a chocolate chip cookie, but using the candies adds a festive color.

Mini M&M’s are so cute…especially when they are used in cookies! I’ll have to keep an eye out for a bag of red and green ones!
I saw the red & greens at the store today. They did not have those earlier.
