M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are colorful, chocolate filled, little gems.  I love them.   They are thick and chewy and that's just the way I like my cookies.  The first time I had one was a couple years ago.  My sister in law made them, and I realized the recipe she made was one I pinned and wanted to try.   Hers were amazing, and mine turn out consistently great every time I make them.  Since I don't frequently have mini M&Ms, I forget about them and how much I love them. 

The batch makes about 28 cookies for me.  I haven't changed the original recipe at all.  It is from a site called Picky Palate.
