Share on TwitterMy brother graduated with his BA this weekend and a party was thrown in his honor. My contribution was a huge batch of his favorite cookie. I doubled this recipe and it yielded at least five dozen 3" cookies. They were wonderful and not a single one was left, much to his disappointment! The recipe is below.
Preheat oven to 375.
2 1/4 c. flour
1 c. granulated sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. butter flavored shortening (Crisco)
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 14oz bag M&Ms
In large bowl, cream together sugars, eggs, shortening, and vanilla. In another bowl stir well the dry ingredients. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Once thoroughly combined, add M&Ms (use more or less to your liking). Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased foil or parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Leave on cookie sheet for two minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool. Store in airtight container if not devoured within a few minutes!
