Holiday M&M Cookies

holiday cookies with Zac, the blue-eyed boy, being very patient in the background...

Is it too early to get festive? As I type this, I'm running back and forth from kitchen to computer in 10-minute intervals; answering the demanding call of my oven's timer. One batch was a casualty - the sad victim of someone's husband 'helping' by turning the timer off. Yet, he leaves the cookies inside unbeknownst to the baker. Who does this sort of thing?!? I choose to overcome and forge ahead. Hope you all enjoy the ooey-gooey goodness of this traditional favourite in the Green household.
