Description
This soft and chewy M&M cookie is BY FAR my favorite cookie that always disappears first on the Christmas cookie tray! They are very simple, but kids and adults alike will love this chewy packed cookie with M&M's. You can make these festive by using Red and Green holiday M&Ms around Christmas time.
