M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies…*
… thick, overly stuffed, chocolatey cookies
When life gives you a 45 ounce bag of M&Ms, what do you do? No, but seriously, what do you do with all of that? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t justify eating ALL of them. I had my fair share of snacking, and mix matching with salty snacks, but I wasn’t seriously going to finish all 850 M&Ms. Well, that’s a lie. I definitely could have, but I knew it was probably best for my heart and waistline that I didn’t. Instead, I decided to add a healthy amount to my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe by Katrina. If there’s anything I love more than chocolate and peanut butter, it’s a thick, overly stuffed, freshly baked, warm-out-of-the-oven, chocolate chip cookie. When you add M&Ms, it’s like you’re adding a whole new dimension of flavor and doubling the amount of chocolatey goodness in every bite. The cookie dough has a perfect salty flavor to go with the chocolate, and I love the crunch of the M&M shells in every bite. This colorful treat is sure to please all! I’m definitely going to make these again, but maybe I’ll substitute Peanut Butter M&M’s in next time, yum! :)
