The spring time M&Ms have arrived and Jackson thought we really needed to get some at the store and I recently came across this recipe on Pinterest. I love to buy M&M cookies at the store because they always seem to be just the right texture. These turned out to be just as good. I ran into a slight problem when I realized we were out of eggs. So I went to the Internet to see if there was something I could use as a substitute and found I could use applesauce. It worked great and I didn’t feel as guilty about eating cookie dough with raw egg.
