Recipe Name M&M Whole Wheat Cookies Submitted by vonbosau
Recipe Description Original source is from a post to Bakery-Shoppe Digest VI #238 by Nina Banks on 9/13/97. This makes an awesome cookie. Changes I made were to use butter instead of shortening, to omit nuts/dried fruit and to substitute M&M's for chocolate chips and double the amount.
