Chocolate Chip-Sprinkle Cookies with M&Ms

I coach young kids in running and to encourage a young girl I told her I would make her cookies. She wanted a cookie with sprinkles, M&Ms®, and chocolate chips and this is what I came up with. The kids loved them so much I make them whenever they set a personal record.
