JUMBO ‘Soft Batch’ M&M Cookies

Holy Texas!  I never saw people move so fast!!

 It was like the “maddest, clumsiest, arms flailing about” 50 yard dash into the kitchen, crossing the finish line at in new record time.  The finish line being, the plate of JUMBO ‘Soft Batch’ M&M  Cookies.

I can’t say I blame them one bit. I would presumably do the very same thing, put in that position. 🙂

I mean, who in tarnation can resist freaking JUMBO ‘Soft Batch’ M&M  Cookies?  These cookies have 2 secret ingredients too! Pudding and butter extract.  So you get, soft, thick, fluffy and buttery cookies loaded with M&Ms and chocolate chips. Not a bad combination, right?

And look, the picture below, there’s a bite out of that cookie in the middle!  I wonder who could have done that? Hmm…I think it was the neighbor.  Yea…Stickin’ with that story.

 If you like JUMBO cookies, here’s some you might wanna snuggle up to, like these Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies, these Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Blast Cookies, ‘Thick ‘n Fudgy’ Chocolate Explosion Cookies, JUMBO Cake Batter Cookies and these Extreme Chocolate Lovers Cake Mix Cookies!
