M&M Topped Chocolate Cookie Recipe
My daughter and I always enjoy making these M&M topped chocolate cookies. I put her in charge of placing the candies on top of the cookies, and she takes her job very seriously.
These cookies lasted a total of 2 days in the house. They taste amazing right out of the oven, all toasty warm and soft. But, they also taste rich and sweet after they cool. Two days, folks, that was it for these sweet gems.
