This recipe is a total hit in my family, they seem to keep disappearing as they cool off!!! I tweeked a bit by using 3/4 cup organic sugar instead of white and added 1/2 cup m&m's and 1/4 each of dark chocolate chips and reese chips. I also left mine in ball form and they turned out beautifully! Thanks for posting!

Very good! I bought some Easter m&ms on 75% off and was looking for a cookie recipe that didn't have peanut butter in it. Very easy to make and very tasty. Thanks!

these are excellent! i was looking for a monster cookie recipe that didn't include peanut butter because a member of my son's preschool class is allergic to nuts. These fit the bill and are delicious too! so chewy! Next time I don't think I will flatten them at all because we like our cookies a little thicker- tried it both ways.
