I was super excited to be invited to participate in this cookie exchange, because really, it just doesn’t get any better than lots and lots of cookies. My mom is the ultimate cookie baker, and she raised me to be the ultimate cookieeater. And, I must say: I’m really quite good at it.

One thing my mom always taught me about cookies– they always need M&Ms.Always.

Although you’ll catch me from time to time straying from this wise, motherly advice; I’ll always come back to my beloved M&M cookies. Last holiday season, I made Pretzel M&M and Rolo cookies, and they were a smashing hit! Definitely new faves in my house. So here’s a new twist for this year: peanut butter cookies, peanut butter M&Ms, and, of course, Rolos.

Get ready to fall in M&M-cookie-love.
