Yummy cookie recipe. We made these for our 2010 cookie trays for the holidays and everyone loved them. We used red and green m&m's and they looked so festive. These cookied were soft and full of flavor. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, its definately a recipe I will pull out all year long.

Made these cookies to take to my grandsons today and we sampled a few of them:) I did not add the nuts because of the boys. I only added 3/4 of the bag and glad that I did because for us the full bag would have been too much for us. I used a tablespoon for measuring and I made 3 dozen cookies. It took min 12 minutes in the oven. Thanks for sharing!

Since I had a hard time hiding the M&M's from DS's for making this recipe, I knew these would be a great treat for all. A great keeper recipe Mel. I've never made M&M cookies b/f and I"m sure it won't be the last. The only thing different I did was used full size plain M&M's. Couldn't find the mini's, though after thinking about it and looking later, discovered they were in the baking aisle. Duh.... Made for NewestZaarTag~
