I teach young children how to run, and I promised to bake a small girl cookies to cheer her on. I created this recipe in response to her request for a cookie with sprinkles, M&Ms®, and chocolate chips. I used to give them to the kids whenever they broke a personal record since they enjoyed them so much.
