M&M Cookie Pie

Because sometimes you want cookies...without all the chilling, scooping, and cookie sheet washing that typical cookie making requires.

Sometimes you just want a cookie...sooner rather than later.

My solution?  Cookie pie!  In today's version, M&M Cookie Pie.  And, it's even ready in about 30 minutes if you prefer a slightly doughy-softer-brownie-ish center, like yours truly.  Though, if you prefer a more thoroughly baked cookie, just add a few minutes of baking time; you know the drill - when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, it's done!  Just be sure you don't catch an M&M, the melted chocolate will defeat your testing attempts.
