Holiday Party Cookies
No matter what holiday may roll around, it is sometimes hard to think of a specific “holiday” recipe. During Christmas, you may want green and red to shine; Easter, maybe pastels; Halloween – your oranges, yellows, and browns. No matter what holiday it may be, if there are M&Ms made in that color, this cookie recipe is a guaranteed hit! The reason this is a go-to recipe for me is because I can make it anytime of the year, but also make it for a special holiday. By the way, the cookie dough recipe is soft and chewy – what I like most in a cookie!
