Chocolate M&M Cookies {12 Days of Sugar – Day 6}

 On the 6th Day of Sugar my true love gave to me . . . .Chocolate M&M Cookies

We are half-way through this sugar madness.  Anyone else in a sugar coma besides me?  I’m pretty sure I’ve consumed way too many sugar calories these past several days. . .waaaay too many!

Today I just have a simple, chocolate M&M cookie recipe to share.  They are nothing fancy but they are extremely delicious. Chewy, chocolaty and full of mini M&M’s.  Perfect cookies to take to your next cookie exchange because who doesn’t love M&M cookies?  If you can find the Christmas colored mini M&M’s, they would be so cute in these.  I actually had some and forgot to use them (duh).

I got a little distracted while I was measuring my cocoa and put a little too much in, so these look really dark and chocolaty, which they were, but were still fabulous.

Six days down, six more to go. . . .I need some veggies.
