Notes

Cracked M&M's?  Don’t worry about any cracked M&M’s. This happens when the M&M candies start to cool when you take them out of the oven – totally normal.  The cookies still taste great and the cracks give them character!

Storage/Freezing Tips:  These cookies should be stored in an airtight container.  And they will stay fresh longer if they are completely cool before you pack them up.  We usually add a layer of parchment paper between each row of cookies in our plastic container.  They will stay fresh at room temperature for 2-3 days if you store them correctly in an air-tight container. They will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
