Reviews
What fun cookies! In my case, these cookies took a lot longer to put together than the time listed, but that is ok. I found it easiest to lay a piece of parchment on my kitchen table, then poor the mini M&Ms out on that to separate by color. I also separated my frosting into five colors to match the M&Ms, and I’m super happy with how they came out. This is definitely one of those recipes you want to make with your kids and family–it’s fun, and goes more smoothly with more helping hands! Overall: cute cookies, pretty tasty, and fun for all to make! Thank you for the recipe!
