Jumbo Mix-In Cookies

This is another fun after school snack for your kids!  Monster M&M Cookies!!!  What I love most about this recipe is that it is a base.  You can use the main recipe and then mix in just about anything you want!  We opted for chocolate chips and M&Ms for my kids, but you can personalize it with raisins, Heath bits, nuts — just about anything you may want in a cookie!
