Why are my cookies flat?
If your cookies are flat, it may be because you have too much sugar or not enough flour. Try adding an extra tablespoon or two of flour to thicken your cookie dough if it seems to wet.
How do you freeze M&M cookie dough?
I like to go ahead and make cookie dough balls before I put them in the freezer.
Create cookie dough balls with the remaining dough you aren’t baking immediately and place them in an airtight container or food storage bag before freezing.
Cookies can be baked according to directions without needing to be thawed first.
Just pop them directly onto a prepared baking sheet and bake accordingly!
The best part about freezing cookies is you can make one or two at a time without having to make a whole batch.
These M&M Cookies are a classic and always a crowd favorite!
