Double Chocolate M&M Cookies
I’m on my own again this week in the kitchen. My newly-turned teenager is at cross-country camp, running her heart out. This was a new adventure for her. Maddie’s running with a school this year and doesn’t know any of the kids yet. She’s one that likes to understand a situation completely before she encounters it, so for her to venture out to a camp that she’s never been to before with kids she’s never met is so stretching her. It’s teaching her lessons in faith and trust.
It’s not only teaching her lessons…it’s teaching this mama lessons in faith and trust also. My little girl, just entering into the teenager phase.
Yikes.
How did that happen? Seems like just yesterday she was curled close in my lap reading Sandra Boynton’s The Going to Bed Book. I can still recite that book word for word.
These simple Double Chocolate M&M Cookies take me back to those simpler days. M&M’s always made my kids smile and M&M cookies continue to be a favorite find in our cookie jar.
You’ll love these cookies because they are super soft and super fudgy. They won’t take more than 15 minutes to whip up. I do recommend refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes or so. We like to scoop out the cookies onto baking sheets before refrigerating simply because the dough is easier to handle when it is softer. It also takes less time to bring them to refrigerator temperature. If you are short on fridge space and don’t have room for trays, just refrigerate the big bowl of dough for about an hour and your cookies will turn out just as thick as ever.
Enjoy your kids today. They grow up fast. Spend some time in the kitchen with them whipping up a batch of these colorful cookies. Then sit down with a glass of milk, freshly baked cookie and watch them smile.
