NEW Pecan Pie M & M Cookies

I saw a bag of Pecan Pie M & M's at the store..they sounded good, so I thought I'd throw them into one of my favorite cookie dough recipes.

I chose the recipe that has LOTS of melted butter, brown sugar and pecans!

The result was amazing...soft and chewy...and tastes much like a pecan pie. I have to warn you though, this recipe is VERY sweet. 

But we love sweet at our house;)
