Notes
1. You do not have to add the M&Ms to the tops of the cookies, you can always add all of the M&Ms to the dough before baking.
2. Measure the flour properly. You should never use the measuring cup to scoop the flour. Instead, scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon. Then, level it off with a butter knife.
3. Do not overbake we want the center to stay soft with crispy edges.
