Cookies and Cream M&M Cookies

I had to have cookies to take to Charlot's school for the Christmas program last night. I asked Charlot what kind of cookies she wanted...her response...Dairy Queen ice cream. Thanks kid that's a real practical cookie. Then it was almost a challenge for me how could I make these cookies remind her of her favorite DQ treat. Basically I decided to chuck it full of her favorite blizzard toppings and I will say they results were awesome! I will admit at first I threw a whole bunch of M&M's into the dough and the resulting cookie was way toooooo sweet and chocolaty for me. Plus I decided that topping each cookie with 5 or so M&M's resulted in a prettier cookie because you could see the pretty candy. But you do as you wish these cookies are flexible. 

This would be prefect for a Christmas cookie exchange or whatever your holiday needs. I know that both young and old will enjoy this sweet treat!

And those of you who are wondering yes I am drinking my milk out of a stemless wine glass...who said milk and cookies wasn't classy.
