M&M Cookies

I was in the mood for some cookies the other day and these fit the bill perfectly. Cute and festive, but without a lot of effort.  Recipe adapted from Veggie by Season.

Ingredients:

1 c. unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. light brown sugar
2 eggs at room temp.
2 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 c. flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 c. pink M&Ms



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down sides.
Add in vanilla, turn mixer on medium, add eggs one at a time.
Add in salt, baking powder and soda.
Slowly add in flour.  Fold in most of the M&M's.
Roll dough into walnut sized balls and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass cup, flatten the balls slightly. 




Press extra M&M's into the dough so they are on top and visable.  (This is my kids favorite part!)

Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden and puffy.

*Makes about 4 dozen cookies









Serve with plenty of milk.

My two year old twins could probably live off these!  Every time I turn around they are begging for more. :)

  2. Can you make this recipe and freeze it for later just like other cookie dough recipes?
