Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.Adapted from Taste of Home
Made these for my Sunday School class (third through sixth grade kids).They rated these a ten and begged to finish them off before they left class. A definite keeper recipe — thanks!
I’m not generally an M&M cookie fan, but these were amazing!! Made for the kids, but the sweet & salty makes this for the adults as well!
Thanks Emily!! So glad the kids liked the cookies. Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific week! 🙂
is there anyway i can make these without the coconut ?
You can easily leave out the coconut. If it seems to gooey, just add a little more flour.
Can you use butter instead of margarine?
Yes, you can use butter too.
