A family recipe that has been passed down through the generations
Remember that you get to eat the left over m&m’s
This m&m cookie recipe has been handed down and is from a cookbook from the 1950’s. My family and I gladly share it with you because, it’s honestly delightful and who doesn’t love the aroma of cookies in the oven. Afterward, you get to eat the left overs; even the extra m&m’s.
