Saudi Arabia

I'm all for easy and quick! I usually a "add a little bit of this and that" kind of cook. It's rare that I don't switch stuff up with a recipe, but honestly -- this recipe is perfect as is! (I'm SERIOUS!) My kids even love it!

My 3 year old daughter and I made these using the suggested changes of 1 cup PB and lessening the flour to 2 cups. Instead of chocolate chips we used the Christmas M&Ms and reserved about 1/4 cup of them for her to put on the tops of each cookie. We also used a smaller cookie scoop (1 TBS?) to make the balls and then kinda flattened them with the spatula as they came out. They were fun to make together. I also froze half the dough in a roll to see how that would work out if I ever wanted to make them in large batches. The only drawback to this is that when you slice the cookies - you inevitably cut some of the M&Ms. (Also, if you use this method - you can wait till they soften a little on the pan and your kids can still add some M&Ms)

I also tweaked the recipe... made it in my FOOD PROCESSOR (love that thing!) Here is the winning combination: 4 cups dry milk, 2 cups of the Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee Mate, 1-1/4 unsweetened cocoa powder, 1-1/4 regular white sugar, and since it was a cinnamon flavor I did add 2 tsp of a really good cinnamon! VOILA! Perfect for hostess gifts or for our friends! We all enjoy it and I didn't find it too sweet this way!
