What were you all for Halloween?
Anyway, if you have some leftover M&M’s from your Halloween candy stash, here’s a recipe to use them up (because if they’re in a cookie, you’re not as likely to eat them, right?). It’s a Mrs. Fields copycat, so I know you’ll like them. I just used Mrs. Field’s sugar cookie recipe and added M&M’s. Can’t go wrong there, right?
