Scoop out dough 1 tablespoon at a time, roll into a ball and place on prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake 10-13 minutes or until the top is cracked and appears dry.
Remove from the oven and immediately press the extra M&M’s into the tops of the cookies.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes and then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
How to Store Leftovers
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container. You can keep these on the counter or store them in the refrigerator.
I prefer eating my cookies at room temperature and they don’t last more than a few days in my house so I keep them out.
