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!
