Chocolate M&M Cookies Recipe

For a cheery and chocolatey Spring treat, try out these Chocolate M&M Cookies! 

Chocolate M&M Cookies Recipe - for a cheery and chocolatey treat!

There are a lot of things in life I am not good at.  Folding my husband’s laundry to perfection, being patient, watching boring TV without falling asleep….. but making cookies, not on that list.  Fewf.

So when I moved to Denver after living in Alabama for four years I wanted to cry when my cookies turned out like disks!  Moving from a 4,000 foot altitude to a less than 1,000 foot altitude was easy!  However, the opposite, yikes.  Cookies were the biggest yikes too.  So I want to share some cookie recipes with you and what remedies you can experiment so you don’t end up eating WAY too much  delicious dough because it isn’t cooking right.

I cook at 4,000 feet high approximately.  I prefer to bake chilled dough because I like it buttery but I don’t want the cookies to go totally flat.  If you are higher, add less butter/egg yolk/sugar by a small amount or more flour to help them keep their shape.  If you are cooking at a low altitude but using a recipe from a high altitude, cut back on the flour or make sure for a full dough recipe that you add the full teaspoon of baking soda.

    I could be totally mistaken…but is this recipe missing the butter quantity?
