Thrifty Valentine M&M Cookies

As I've mentioned before, we love M&M cookies at our house. But I don't always love the price of the M&M's! As I was checking out the Christmas clearance candy at the grocery store, I saw tons of the Christmas M&M's. In fact, there's still a box of them there. So I grabbed several bags, knowing exactly what I would do with them.

My 2-year-old helped me sort them, then we used the red M&M's to bake our favorite cookies. Perfect for Valentine's Day!!
And what's even better? We're going to save the green M&M's and use them to bake some more cookies for St. Patrick's Day next month! I love it when I get a good deal!

**Edited to add: You can find the recipe for these M&M Cookies HERE from taste buds. Seriously...they are the best!!

    Great idea! About a week or so before Christmas I could not find plain holiday M&M's anywhere! I went nuts looking for them. I also throw oatmeal in mine and oh my goodness - soo yummy!! :)

    That is a FANTASTIC idea... I am going to have to go to the store to see if they still have some in the clearance section. You are brilliant!

    The cookies look so scrumptious. Are they homemade? If so want to share your recipe? lol
