Valentine M&M’s Cookies

I must really have Valentines on the brain this week, because this is the 4th Valentines post this week!  

There must be love in the air here!

Today I have these yummy M&M’s Valentine cookies.  This recipe has been in our family for a long time.  The name of these cookies on my recipe card is:  “Leora’s Chocolate Chip Cookies”  This is a nickname that I have had for my sister for a long time, I don’t really even remember where it came from, but I remember saying “Leora” in a mocking tone every time I called her that!  Some things just never go away, do they? 

Anyway, here is my version of these yummy cookies:

 I just substituted Valentine M&M’s for chocolate chips and I used butter instead of shortening.  These cookies are sooo good because they are just a little bit crisp on the outside but still very chewy on the inside!  Love them!

Of course you can make these for any holiday because M&M’s make different color combo’s for every holiday!  

Isn’t that nice of them!  I have heard that the Red Velvet ones that they have for Valentines Day, are to die for… but I can’t seem to find any anywhere, so I wouldn’t know! :(

These make a fun little gift for your Valentine, just tie them up in a cute little clear box, a cellophane bag, or on a cute plate.  These would be great for your visiting teaching sisters, neighbors, or hey how about your family!  Now that is a novel idea!

Hope that you are having a great Friday.  Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend.  I am hoping to get a new toy that I will tell you about next week!  

Thanks for visiting!  Love Ya!
