It’s that time of year to start experimenting for the holiday cookie tins. I don’t have the patience for royal icing decorating, so I tried the Sally’s Baking Addiction sugar and chocolate sugar cookie recipes with coarse sugar on some, caramel and I also used mini, regular and peanut butter m&ms.

Results? Definitely a reason people use royal icing, I definitely prefer a sweeter cookie. But tasters preferred the looks of the green ones best and thought the chocolate ones tasted best. Also learned peanut butter m&ms always split upon baking, had to replace them all fresh out of the oven.

    They look so cute!

    I make this recipe multiple times a year and never decorate with royal icing. I think as long as you add the almond extract (if you like it!) and use a strong vanilla, they’re great on their own.

    Do the m&m’s stay on after they’ve cooled?
