EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Unbaked cookie dough can be frozen in an airtight container up to 9 months. Before baking, thaw frozen dough in the fridge at least 8 hours.

A trick for making drop cookies the same size and shape: Use a spring-handled cookie or ice-cream scoop. A #16 scoop holds 1/4 cup dough.

Ever since I was very little, I always baked and bought these smartie cookies (as I call them). If you haven't made them, I strongly suggest that you do!

This is used with regular & crispy M&M's correct? Can you still get Crispy M&M's? I would like to use this recipe for a bake sale. I think it would be a great hit!
