- Using a large cookie or ice cream scooper, scoop the dough and release dough into your hand and roll only tops of cookies in mini M&M's. The mini M&M's should be close together, they will spread out while baking. (If you don't have a scoop, roll balls in hands about 1.5" across.)

- Don't overbake!
- Let cookies cool on baking sheet a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.
