How To Make chocolate peanut butter m&m cookies

    ** Note*** I used parchment paper but it is not necessary. I also worked in batches to keep an eye on the progress the cookies baked. **** Using a tablespoon/mellon baller/small icecream scooper, place a generous tablespoonful on your sheet. Spacing them an inch 1/2 apart. Press in your M&M's. I chose to do 3 for each cookie and it worked perfectly.
