Little.Bites.Of.Heaven.

These tasty little guys truly crack me up. Micah and I have made these M&M cookies hundreds of times, and whenever family and friends catch wind that these cookies are coming out of the over, by evening... we get visitors :).

We've been having some rainy weather and when Micah woke up asking to bake these cookies, I thought it was a perfect idea- all ingredients, always on hand. Next to bread, butter and rice, M&Ms have become a staple food item in our household. Since I primarily use them as a teaching tool for counting, sequencing, etc... we usually have a huge bag from Costco in our pantry. Micah loves giving gifts to people, and these cookies wrapped up and tagged, have always been a hit to make someone's day! We met up with Daddy for lunch and Micah brought these as a gift, and you would've thought we bought him a new car... he ate 7 in one sitting! These cookies never fail, and you will ALWAYS hear after one bite, some kind of Mmmmmm from whoever is eating them. Whether you're 4, in your 20's, 30's or 60's, these cookies will sure enough make someone's day special!

* On Easter, we use the pastel colored M&Ms and on Christmas, we use the red and green colored ones.
