Eggless M&M Cookies

These are regular cookies topped with M&Ms. Nothing too unique about this recipe, except they look colourful with M&Ms instead of chocolate chips. I generally make these and give it to kids during Halloween. I had made these in 2 batches, one was the american style which was slightly softer inside and another batch which was crisp.. You just need to make in low temperature for a little longer to make it crisp. Both were yummy
