CHRISTMAS M&M COOKIES

December is here and it’s time to decide what cookies will Santa find on the plate by the fireplace this year. For my kids, this is a very important decision. Reindeer – that’s easy. They love carrots and oats. But Santa – he needs a special treat. After all, he spends the whole night in cold, flying all over the world, delivering presents. That needs to be appreciated. That’s exactly what these Christmas M&M Cookies are. We all know that classic chocolate chip cookie is always a winner. Especially one that is soft and chewy and packed with gooey, melty chocolate. But add red and green M&M’s and bam! Santa didn’t expect that!
