  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
  • 2 tablespoons M&M's minis

I would give this zero stars if I could. These cookies are full of grease. They are not the pretty light green pictured here because there is 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar in the dough and it is brown. Add the green food coloring and you get some icky olive green dough. I tried adding more flour to no avail. Your hands are solid grease after forming the wreaths and they melt on the cookie sheet and your hands are greasy when eating one. I think there is a greasy error somewhere. The only healthy part of this cookie was the dark chocolate M&M's I used. They don't taste bad, but I would not serve them due to the greasy mess on your hands. I am watching fat grams and I can't imagine what was lightened up. The nutrition info cannot be accurate. The dough might work for a crust in a high fat dessert, but not suitable for cookies. My first ever disaster with one of your recipes and have subscribed a long time.
