M&M's Party Cookies

M&M's Party Cookies

Mmmmm...Cookies! I love the holidays for many many reasons. One obviously being the shared feeling of love and happiness and good cheer (yes, I realize I sound like a Christmas song but it's true). But the real reason to love the holidays are holiday desserts!! I love dessert about as much as I love my husband! Okay, maybe not that much but you get the picture.

I was going to be making a work trip to the Fox Valley area to visit some of my bank partners that I work with throughout the year. I didn't have a lot of time to spend with everyone but wanted to do something nice to thank them for putting up with me...I mean working with me. I decided to bake them all these Holiday M&M Cookies.

Now, I love to bake cupcakes but cookies? I've never made a good batch of cookies before so I knew I needed help. I called my brother, who is hoping to go to culinary school, and asked how to make sure my cookies weren't flat or rock hard. His secret - add just a little extra flour during the cold winter months and they should stay fluffy. By God! He was genius because it totally worked. Now I didn't have enough cookies to try one myself but I did eat enough of the batter to know that they'd turn out delicious. M&M's Party Cookies
