• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup holiday m&m's plain chocolate candy

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.

• 4 slowly add flour until completely incorporated.
• 5 chill dough for about one hour in a covered bowl.
• 6 spread carefully in the prepared pan (see recipe description above).

• 8 bake at 300 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until edges are just beginning to brown.
