M&M's Cookies

As you may have seen, I make a lot of cookies. I'm always looking for new cookie recipes. Some are right under my nose. Jeff insisted on buying a pack of M&M's baking bits when we went shopping last. This was the recipe on the package. They were soft but crisp. No wonder Mars went with this recipe! The cookies turned out much lighter then the picture shows, however, still tasted great. I bet a giant one of these would be great too..
