Valentine's Chocolate M&M Cookies

Full disclosure: these were supposed to be red velvet cookies in honor of Valentine's day. But, I'm adaptable. I didn't put enough red food dye in these, so they turned into simple chocolate cookies. I think they're still plenty festive and they still tasted good! So here you have it: Valentine's M&M chocolate cookies!
