    I made these as instructed and they turned out great. I did make sure the dough was cold before cooking to help with spreading but had no issues at all with them.

    These cookies are fantastic! They were gone in no time. I cooked at 350 degrees and took them out as the edges were getting golden brown. The kids loved not only helping to make the cookies but also loved eating them! Thank you for a great recipe!

    These were a hit at the Pre-School Picnic! They are colorful and tasty! They also traveled well when packed in a cookie tin with the layers seperated by wax paper.

    Delicious! These cookies are nice and soft with lots of M&Ms. Everytime I make them someone wants the recipe.

    really really flat cookies that you have to watch carefully so not to burn them. real yummy if flat and dont forget to refrigerate and spray dough and sheet. had a heck of a time getting off the sheet.
