Fourth of July is coming up so these Homemade M&M Cookies with Patriotic Colored M&Ms are just the start of some great patriotic ideas. I am craving sweet things and cookies where on the top of my list today! I wanted to figure out a way to have a great cookie for fourth of July. I had a bag of valentines day M&M’s left over so I picked out the red and white M&M’s. If you don’t have M&M’s laying around from valentines day they now sell bags of just the white and red M&M’s. These cookies are nice and chewy! Also make sure you add the Red White and Blue Oreos, Fresh Fruit Layered Slushie Drink and Watermelon Stars And Blueberries Fruit Salad that are all easy to make recipes and perfect for 4th of July Celebrations!
