We bake batches and batches of cookies every Christmas to share with our family and neighbors and often times I will send cookie packages to our family that lives out of state.

These M&M Cookies are a sturdy cookie that is perfect for shipping. It makes a big batch perfect for sharing. Another holiday favorite with M&M candies is White Trash junk mix. It's crazy-good and everyone loves it.

Of course these are a great cookie all year long with any color of M&Ms and fit with any holiday or celebration.

These cookies have crisp edges and chewy middles. If you like them extra chewy, remove them from the oven about 2 - 3 minutes early and cool on the baking sheet for about 1 - 2 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
