My Sweet Mara’s M&M Cookies, Outrageously Amazing!

​My sweet Mara did it again! I am so proud of all my granddaughters, they all cook and bake, even my 10-year old darling Sienna.
 
This time; however, Mara tried a recipe listed in the back of a “ginormous” bag of M&M’s that she got as a birthday gift from a friend. I tell you this, I wish that blog-recipes comes with an app for taste and smell, because these cookies were dangerously amazing and hard to stop at eating just one. So, I am sorry, maybe next time the app will be available to you, smile.
