    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: For easy clean up, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Tip 2: When storing the cookies, place a piece of parchment paper in between layers to keep them from sticking together.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    How do you store these cookies?

    You can store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    How come you don't add M&Ms to the cookie dough?

    Since there are already chocolate chips in the cookies, there is plenty of chocolate taste in them. Adding the candies after baking ensures that they remain intact and don't crack.
