What do you do on a rainy day in Southern California and two littles ones trapped inside? Well, I make and create a yummy m&m cookie recipe of course, so when you’re trapped with your little ones you have something to bake with them. These cookies are crispy and sugary with lots of M&M’s. They are kids tested and approved.
