Tips For Making The Best M&M Cookies

• Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
• For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
• Always use butter, not margarine.  ALWAYS.  I prefer salted butter for my chocolate chip cookies.  Try it!
• Do not ever grease your cookie sheets.  Will make cookies spread and change texture.
• Don’t skip creaming your butter and sugars for a good 2 minutes.  Helps create a fluffy, chewy cookie.
• Try sprinkling dough with just a touch of salt for a perfect sweet and salty combination.
• Don’t overtake your cookies.  Cookies will continue to cook on hot cookie sheet when removed from oven.
• Let cookies cool completely before storing in containers. This will keep their crispness
• Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3 days room temperature.
