M&M chocolate chip cookies
These are my favorite cookies....every time Scott eats them he talks about how good the cookie dough is.  He is a huge fan of M&M's...but was impressed with the cookie themselves
I agree...I often make a half batch...roll them in cookie balls, freeze, then bag them...then you can make 1 or all of them when ever you want.  I got this recipe from a book called The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie...and this is.

Lyssy's Favorite Cookies
2 Cups plus 4 TBS flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup butter (room temp) 
)I've also used butter flavored crisco, but make sure to add a little water per the crisco instructions)
12 oz (2 Cups) chocolate chips or mini M&M's
2 Cups chopped nuts (optional)...not unless I'm making walnut ones for Erich

I mix it all in my kitchen aide....but can be hand stirred with a wooden spoon.  drop by teaspoonfuls (size is very important here...or they won't bake right...believe me I've tried to make them huge...didn't work)
Bake 375 for 10-12 min...until golden brown...cool and eat!

Recipe: Thin chicken breasts (2 cut in half), s&p, then lightly flour, pat off excess, brown on both sides in a little evoo & butter, set aside 1-2 lbs Mushrooms, sliced & caramelized in evoo & butter in same pan as chicken, add 1 tsp chopped garlic at very end so it doesn't burn Deglaze with 1 Cup Marsala wine & 1/4 Cup Sherry (we had cream sherry on hand) and reduce by 25% then add 1 Cup Chicken Stock (good quality).  Add fresh herbs, chives, parsley, optional. Serve over  pilaf,  noodles...cardboard, it won't matter.
