Ingredients
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup crisco shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ t vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 t baking soda
- 1 t salt
- 1 ½ cups M & Ms
Instructions
-
In a stand mixer, mix sugar, shortening, eggs, and vanilla together thoroughly, until mixture is light and fluffy.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. On low speed, slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredient mixture in stand mixer.
-
Stir in ¾ cup m&ms.
-
Drop on parchment paper lined cookie sheet by the tablespoonful. I use the OXO medium cookie dough scooper and highly recommend. The scooper makes the cookie scooping process much more efficient.
-
After scooping dough balls onto baking sheet, use the remaining ¾ cup m&ms to press 3-4 m&ms on top of each dough ball. The cookies look great with a few extra m&ms sitting on top.
-
Cook in a preheated 350 degree oven for 9-11 minutes. Eleven minutes was perfect for my oven.
