How to Make M&M Cookies for Christmas
Make some delicious Christmas m&m cookies for the holidays! These are always a hit with my family! They are crunchy on the outside but oh so soft in the middle. Even after freezing them, the softness stays!
You can use unsalted butter but you should then add in about a teaspoon of table salt into the dough.
These are great for Christmas gifts to give to your family, friends, and neighbors! They will love them. If you don’t like super chocolatey cookies, leave the chocolate chips out!
