This is hands-down my families favorite dessert! Every holiday, every get-together, every anything... these cookies make an appearance.. Even my husband, who somehow was blessed with not having a sweet tooth, loves these cookies!
This is my Kitchen Aid, my first love. I got it for my 21st birthday from my parents. I know... who gets a Kitchen Aid for their 21st birthday! You know what I was doing that night! Anyhow, this is my go-to when baking. Especially when making these cookies!
Taylor loves to help me when I make these cookies! I think...scratch that...I know her favorite part is when I let her lick the paddle at the end of the mixing!
When making these cookies, we have found that if you roll your cookie dough into balls and then push the M&M's into the dough at the end, they don't end up lost in the cookie. Resulting in delicious colorful yummy-ness!
