I had to have another talk with my husband tonight. I once again told him that when he described my food he needed to say something other than "this is *beep* good". So he changed his response to say that these cookies are "a little bit of heaven" HAHA. I personally thought that they had a funny taste but I am 99% sure that is it because I used a different brand of butter than I usually do and I do not care for that particular brand but had to use it up.

Those look great! I love your pictures!
Yum! I love M&M cookies!
How fun! Looks like you found a use for your butter.
Aw, M&M cookies always make me feel like a kid again. That's so funny about your hubby.. for the longest time mine would say "It's not bad" about EVERYTHING I made. Finally I said to him that I don't consider "not bad" a compliment and he needs to work on that a LOT more.. he's finally getting better. :)~
OK, you are officially my favorite food blog!
I keep saving your recipes to make. I can't keep up with you right now though. I am eight months pregnant, and not cooking as much as I normally do.
Thanks so much!
Ive made these before & i remember thinking they werent quite as sweet as your traditional chocolate chip cookie. A lot of times, w/ a chocolate chip cookie recipe, its a 2:1 sugar to butter ratio. (For example, if theres 1 cup butter, the recipe will then call for 2 cups sugar.) with this recipe, its 1 cup butter and 1 cup sugar (when you combine the brown and the white sugar) so its a 1:1 ratio making it more of a shortbreadish type cookie. and i think thats because these cookies call for m&ms which are sweeter than typical chocolate chips. its a really good buttery cookie. M&M corp. new exactly what they were doing when they came up w/ this recipe. I love this recipe im definitly gonna make it again. Im much more of a butter fan than i am a sugar fan(:
