At it Again

I have decided that every month I am going to attempt to make a batch of cookies or some kind of treat every first weekend of the month.  This month I decided I would attempt to make some cookies with m&m's in them.  Normally the recipe has chocolate chips in it, but we had a ton of m&m's that needed to be used I thought I would attempt!  (I didn't want the m&m's sitting around the house because we don't need to be munching on them!)

 

So I took to learning another recipe.  I have had these cookies tons of times, minus the m&m's, only with chocolate chips.  An usually my mom or Breanne would be the baker of the cookies...

 

Yummy cookies...

So I make the cookies and followed instructions.  I didn't have any problems.  I just did what I was told to do from the recipe.  Place them in the oven on the lower rack, them move them to the higher rack routine set in once again.  This time I had a little more time and experience to know what to expect.  Plus these took a little more time to bake, so I wasn't as stressed to move as quickly. 

 

I had strong willpower.  I didn't eat one cookie.  Once they were cooled, I put them into containers and put them into the freezer.  I figured having these cookies on hand will give me an incentive to get them out of the house and give them to others. 

 

Now I just need to make arrangements to take them to others so they are not in the house anymore...Especially when I am trying so hard to watch what I eat  now!!!

 

Yes, that's me dishing up food in the background of my cookies.  But I was dishing up cucumber and tomato salad!!!  It was delish!!!
