MY M&M’s holiday sugar cookies

Holiday cookies with MY M&M’s!

t

t I don’t want to sound all melodramatic or anything, but here’s the deal.
t
t These are the best — holiday — cookies — ever!
t
t Seriously, I kid you not. When it comes to baking, I love the classics. There’s nothing better than those recipes that you make year after year, party after party — because they’re just so delicious that you can’t imagine the holidays without them. These cookies fit into that classic category exactly. They’re the perfect, gooey sugar cookies topped with some melty, chocolaty M&M’s.

t And even cuter are these custom holiday MY M&M’s designs! You can create your own custom designs on MYMMs.com. In keeping with the classic theme of these cookies, I went with the quintessential holiday picks: red, green and white, with little snowmen and “Happy Holidays” messages! But I’ll be repeating this recipe with little blue and white ones when the new baby comes along. (You can order those, too!)
