M&M Cookies

I have sweets coming out of my ears here.  So, of course, I’m craving salty food.

Do you think Jimmy John’s would just deliver me a single bag of Jalapeno chips and a medium Diet Coke?  No?  Oh well.

I recently made these M&M cookies.

Classic!  The recipe said The Best M&M Cookies!  I’m instantly drawn to a recipe if it’s the BEST.  Maybe I should say that I have the best food blog ever, ha.  Perhaps I’d get more readers that way.  😉

M&M Cookies

Recipe from Diethood

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup Crisco–yep, I bake with vegetable shortening now.

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup M&M’s

Preheat oven to 350.  Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.  Set it aside.

Using your mixer, cream together sugars, Crisco, eggs, and vanilla.  Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet.  Blend together.

Fold in the M&M’s.

Use a cookie scoop to place rounded balls of dough on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 9-11 minutes.

The verdict:  they were yummy, but not the BEST ever.  Although, it could have been the baker’s fault.  😉  In the end, I’d just go with a cup of butter next time instead of the Crisco.

Maybe I should make 2 batches.  One with Crisco and one with butter to compare and contrast.  Nah, I’m too busy eating Jalapeno chips.
