M & M Cookies

My family in fact,I am sure everyone love this month ,the happiness in the air ,the smell of figgy pudding ,all the colors,Christmas songs ,decoration and all ,it’s kind of very festive and enjoyable .I started baking few recipes that I had bookmarked to be baked in December.This recipe is from the cookie package.Kids love M & M and of course anything made with them This time I made the cookies with half all purpose and half whole wheat flour .I kind of think the cookies were a little too sweet because of the candies.Next time I will reduce the amount of sugar in half.

Both of the girls loved the cookies and the little one deliberately crushed the cookie to eat the candy first and the leftovers later.It was quite a sight to see how curiously she was doing that.
