Delicious M&M Cookies

The other day, I was really in the mood for some M&M cookies.  You know, the kind that is chewy and dense filled with bursts of crunchy candy-coated chocolates?  So I decided to make these.


Adding the M&M's to the dough.

Isn't it beautiful?

Using a medium scoop to put the dough on the cookie sheet.

Right away when the cookies come out of the oven, they will look kind of puffy.

And after cooling for a few minutes on the pan, they will look like this.  I love their dense, chewy texture. What do you think?
