Best M&M Cookies

It's no secret that I like chocolate cakes. Or really any cake recipe for this. They are my weaknesses. But throw some M & M into the mix and I'm in heaven. Seriously, this chocolate M & M chip is truly extraordinary and one of the best cakes out there! I also can't refuse these M & M brownies cookies!

There's something about the warm chocolate chip M & M that reminds me of my childhood. At school I grew up, they used to sell M & M cakes on Friday to raise money for school and it was always nice when my mother let me buy it.

For years, I have worked to perfect my M & M cake recipe and this in my opinion, the BEST M & M cake ever! What makes them so delicious? They are thick and springy, but are very soft on the inside while staying fresh around the edges. They also have a perfect chocolate chip ratio with M & M. The more chocolate the better, right?
