1. I thought the third week went pretty well. I thought it was challenging to come up with a variety of shots for this video. I was new to cooking so I didn't have a good grasp on what could make a good shot. I thought Mr. Burr did great.
2. The most valuable thing I learned this week was how to film cooking. This is something I have never tried before and I now feel like I have a good understanding on how to do it.
3. I felt good about my storytelling. I am pretty proud of my project. I feel like I probably could have gotten more of a variety of shots but I still feel like I had a lot of different angles. I thought I did a good job with my closeups, I thought those would help people feel involved.

BEST M&M Cookies - Super soft, chewy, crispy edges and full of chocolate! These M&M cookies taste like they came straight from a bakery!

It's no secret that I love chocolate chip cookies. Or really any cookie recipe for that matter. :) They are my weakness. But throw some M&M's in the mix and I'm in heaven. Seriously, these chocolate chip M&M cookies are absolutely incredible and one of the best cookies out there! I also can't resist these chocolate M&M cookies!

M&M cookies

There's just something about a warm chocolate chip M&M cookie that reminds me of my childhood. At my school growing up, they used to sell M&M cookies on Friday's to raise money for the school and it was always such a treat when my mom let me buy one.

Over the years, I have been working on perfecting my M&M cookie recipe and these are in my opinion, the BEST M&M cookies ever! What makes them so yummy? They are thick and chewy, yet super soft on the inside while staying crisp around the edges. They also have the perfect ratio of chocolate chip to M&M's. The more chocolate the better, right? ;)

Quick tips for M&M cookie recipe

Before you get started baking, check out my tips below. Follow these simple tricks and you'll have the BEST M&M cookies in no time!

Use a silpat baking mat for easy cleanup and no sticking.

Refrigerate the dough, to help them stay thick and chewy.

Use a large cookie scoop to scoop dough onto baking sheet. This ensures the M&M cookies are all equal size.

Add extra M&M's on top once the dough balls have been formed.

Bake at 375°F to get them crispy around the edges, yet keeping them soft inside.

Allow the M&M cookies to set on the pan for 2-3 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

Can you freeze M&M cookies?

Yes, these M&M cookies freeze very well. You can either freeze the baked M&M cookies or freeze the cookie dough. If freezing baked cookies, simply let cool completely then add to ziptop bag or freezer container. Store in freezer for about 2-3 months.

If you'd rather freeze the M&M cookie dough, simply scoop out dough and add to your prepared baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until cookie dough balls have hardened. Then add to a ziptop bag and store in the freezer for about 2-3 months. When ready to eat, add cookie dough balls to baking sheet while oven warms. The M&M cookies will most likely need to bake a few minutes longer than usual since the dough was frozen.

M&M cookies variations

We love to make different variations of these M&M cookies for all of the holidays. For some reason, the holiday M&M's just taste better. IS IT JUST ME?! I feel like I've had a conversation about this with a few friends and we all agree.

We made these 4th of July cookies with red white and blue M&M's and everyone loved them! You can also make holiday variations for Valentine's Day, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Halloween and Christmas M&M cookies. Sometimes I like to turn them into festive M&M cookie bars or even make a layered M&M cookie mix in a jar to give as a holiday gift!

Enjoy!

1. I chose the M and M cookies recipe. I chose this because I love M and M cookies and I've never made my own before, so this seems like a perfect opportunity to do so.
2. I'm excited because I've never really cooked anything before. I've never made my own homemade food so I'm excited to try something new.
3. My video should tell a story, it should make cooking look fun, and it should be interesting to watch.
4. I want the audience to feel like cooking can be a fun thing to try, and that it doesn't really matter how good of a cook you are.
5. I want the audience to remember that anyone can cook if they put their mind to it.
6. I chose this image because I want my video to give of a fun colorful vibe.
7. I think my film will be just a little more than a minute.
8. I have only one real concern, I am concerned about my own cooking. I really have never tried anything like this before so I have no idea how this will go. I just will need to allow myself some extra time, as I likely will fail once or twice.
