Crazy delicious MnM Cookies

So, I haven’t posted to this blog in a few light years. After making some life-changing cookies, I decided it was time to jump back in. It may sound strange, but I don’t typically eat my own baked goods. Don’t get me wrong, they are good….I taste to ensure their goodness and move on. I bake for the pure joy of it.  Serious.

So these cookies have changed my life, in that I have eaten three of them since they came out of the oven…and there are more in my future.

Here’s the scoop on how to change your life via a cookie.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups of room temp to soft unsalted butter (3 sticks)

1.5 tsp baking soda

2 tsp salt

4 cups flour

1.5 cups of mini MnM’s, chocolate chips, or whatever floats your boat
