Notes
- Once you place the dough on the pan, you can press then down with your fingers or a spoon before baking for a thinner cookie. If you like your cookies to be more on the thick side, do not flatten the dough.
- Please allow the cookies to cool before transferring and eating, or else they will break and fall apart.
- If you do not have mini M&Ms you may chop regular M&Ms into smaller sizes
