M&M Cookies
I love dessert but I don’t usually eat candy. I’ll get Junior Mints at the movies and occasionally I’ll crave a Snicker’s or a Reese’s Fastbreak or just a plain Reese’s. But if I had to choose one candy to snack on, I’d choose M&Ms. So when I as at Hobby Lobby the other day on my lunch break, a bad habit that is affecting my paycheck, I saw these harvest colored M&Ms and couldn’t resist buying them. They also happen to sort of be USC colors so they’re perfect for game day desserts!
Have you ever had an M&M cookie from Safeway? I haven’t had one in years but I remember it being a treat when I was younger to get one. They were enormous cookies, of course looking back I probably remember them being much larger than they actually were, but they were filled with M&Ms and they were so good!
These cookies are much smaller but taste very similar! I like that M&Ms have a little crunch that chocolate chips don’t have so it’s nice to switch it up sometimes. Last week we had Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Bakery Style and this week we have these yummy M&Ms cookies! They’re perfect for any occasion and sure to be a hit! Enjoy 🙂
