We had a request for our M&M cookie recipe --- here it is! Please give it a try... they are deliciously, mouth-wateringly yummy. Of course, we always double this recipe. That way there's plenty of dough to eat, and a fair amount to cook too!
M&M Cookies
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup shortening - we use butter
2 eggs
3 - 3 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup M&Ms - we'll tell the truth. We never measure our M&Ms, and probably put in quite a bit more than it calls for!
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Cream sugars and shortening together. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Drop on cookie sheet.* Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Make sure not to overbake!
*By the way, these cookies really spread out when you're baking them, so if you don't want monster M&M cookies the size of your face, we'd recommend making the dough balls quite small... about the size of a golf ball.
Happy eating!
