10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK
Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.

Headed to the store for some Gingerbread M & Ms! Saw them the other day and should have bought them. These look delicious
What fun cookies! I love the addition of gingerbread M&M’s!
These are perfect for the holidays. I need to go hunt those M&Ms down. I love thick and chewy cookies 🙂

Love love love these!
These cookies look heavenly! I could eat 2 or 7 all by myself 🙂 Pinned!
You might want to add in the directions when to put the baking soda in. I print the recipe and followed the directions. I didn’t double check the ingredients and I accidentally left out the baking soda. My cookies still came out ok, just not great. I also thought there is a lot of flour. I might try just 3 Cups when I remake these this weekend.
Thanks for the recipe!
These look so good! I haven’t heard of the Gingerbread M&M’s!
Thanks for joining the Cookie Exchange!
