Back in my hometown, (Norfolk, Massachusetts) I work at a local restaurant as a hostess. During every one of my shifts, I would walk in to the kitchen and find the most delicious mini chocolate chip cookie topped with a Reese's and an M&M.  It was a rare occasion if I did not find them. I asked the chef and other kitchen workers if they made them and they all said no. I was determined to track down and find the person that made these delicious cookies and thank her.

One day, luck was on my side. I saw the mystery woman bringing in the cookies and approached her to find out her story. Her name is Diane. We talked for a while and I told her how much I loved her cookies. She now makes a special batch just for me, which is pretty awesome and I was lucky enough to get her recipe. 

Whenever I bring these cookies home to my family they are gone within a day. Not kidding. I think my record cookies in a day is 10. Not only are these cookies delicious, but they are SO easy to make. Try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
