Then drop the dough by teaspoonful onto the cookie sheet. Also make sure you add extra candies on top of each dough ball. This make a huge difference in the finished product. I wish I would have used more…next time I’ll put 4 or 5 on top, and may even try adding some chocolate chips.
And watch out for kids trying to eat the M&M’s and cookie dough!
Then bake at 350 degrees for 9 to 11 minutes, or to your liking.
