Mama's M&M choc chip cookies

My mum is kinda famous for her choc chip cookies. When I was living back in Oz, I used her cookies to bribe people at work. I know my mum still uses them as a bartering chip and gets her computer fixed in exchange for a batch of her cookies.

These are a slight variation on her choc-chip cookies, with some m&ms added to give the cookies a bit of colour. Warning! They are highly addictive.
