These are really the only cookies to make when you’re having a cookie craving. Also good with Reese’s Pieces instead of M&M’s.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces, such as M&M’s
Directions
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Beat the shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs and vanilla in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the flour, baking soda and salt and blend well. Stir in half the candies.
- Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Press the remaining candies into the tops of the dough balls, flattening them slightly.
- Bake in batches until lightly browned with soft centers, 9 to 11 minutes.
