Cookies have always been one of my greatest weaknesses. If you look at my Pinterest boards you will see there is one devoted strictly to cookie recipes. My very own online cookie collection. I look through the recipes and salivate. Then I break out my baking gear and get to work. Sometimes the recipes are great and sometimes not so great.

This is the latest recipe I’ve tried and my boys gobbled them up. The recipe developed into 6 dozen, freshly baked, M&M laden cookies and still there weren’t enough to go around. Leaving the glasses of milk sitting alone on the kitchen table. They were a hit at our house, so I thought I would pass this recipe along. If you love M&M’s and cookies, give this one a try. It might just become your new favorite.

Ingredients:

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup shortening

2 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups M&M’s

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl combine, sugar, eggs, shortening and vanilla. Until well creamed.
2. Add flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Add M&M’s and stir in until evenly distributed in the dough.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F until edges are lightly browned. About 9-11 minutes.
Enjoy 🙂
