Another favourite cookie around our house is chocolate chip cookies - my Mom's chocolate chip cookies to be exact. I wanted to make some for Christmas, but I didn't want to bake ordinary chocolate chip cookies; I wanted them to look festive. I decided that adding Christmas M&Ms would be the answer.
I looked up on-line the best way to bake with M&Ms and one site recommended adding them to the top of cookies when there was about 5 minutes left of baking time and another sites added the M&Ms to the cookie batter. What's a person to do with a dilemma like that! So I did what any sensible person would do and I did both. The ones on top are nice and clean which looks pretty and adding them near the end of the baking time meant that fewer cracked, but it is always nice to bite into a cookie and find an M&M. Definitely a win-win solution.

Awesome!! I've made and altered many chocolate chip cookies trying to find the perfect one. This one is hands down the best and my search is over. I first made it with butter(I always use butter) and thought it was great but decided to try it again with butter flavored Crisco shortening. Aahhmazing texture. Nice lil crisp on the outside and soft inside. I first made it with the m&M's and the second time with all chocolate chips. Thank you so much for this recipe!!
