I found this on the back of the mint M&M's. I haven't tried it yet! I'm putting it here for safe keeping! You also need 24 pieces of 12x12 inch cellophane squares for some reason I couldn't add it in the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 (11 ounce) bag m & m mint chocolate candies
1 (18 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
3 inches round cookie cutters
green food coloring
1/2 inch holiday ribbon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Tint the cookie dough with the green food coloring and flavor it with the peppermint extract. Roll it to 1/ inch thickness, and then press out 24 circles using the cookie cutter. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
3. When the cookies are cool, spread with frosting. Before the frosting dries, arrange red and green M&M's over the frosting (so it looks like a Christmas ornament).
4. When the frosting is firm, gently wrap the cookies in cellophane and tie the ends with ribbon.
