Most of my bakes are anchored by M&M cookies. They’re a crowd favorite. They’re easy. They’re colorful. And even if you don’t get around to making anything else, these are enough of a crowd-pleaser that most people will be happy. Not all, but most.
My most recent bake started with the M&M cookies and ended with some gluten-free experimentation.
And if you’re reading this, maybe you’re curious about the list and the recipes to make some or all of the stuff yourself.
