Candy Cane and M&M Cookies -aka Leftover Christmas Candy Cookies

Sometimes towards the end of the holidays I end up with leftover candy. Maybe not enough to make a whole batch of cookies or take to the office, but I still want to do something with it... These Candy Cane and M&M Cookies make a small batch of about 6 full size cookies, and are pretty darn tasty! I was determined to make a successful batch of candy cane cookies after Frosty's Really Bad Day bloggy blooper a couple years ago here:@) These cookies would be perfect with a nice cup of hot chocolate, tea or coffee.

Barbie says, let's use up the last of the goodies before the diets start in the new year😉
