These bite-size cookies have a light and delicate texture, and are one of the first cookies I ever learned to make. I use the lower sugar amounts and that is sweet enough for me, but I have included the original amounts also in case you like your cookies more traditionally sweet. If you want to skip the whole wheat flour, increase the white flour to 1 1/2 cups. Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar (or up to 1/2 cup) |
1/3 cup brown sugar (or up to 1/2 cup) |
5 tablespoons butter, softened |
1/3 cup vegetable shortening |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 egg |
1 cup flour |
1/2 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup m&m's plain chocolate candy |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Cream sugars, butter, and shortening together.
4. Add in vanilla and egg; beat well.
5. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over mixture, and add in flours; mix well.
6. Stir in M&Ms.
7. Measure dough by the teaspoon onto the cookie sheets. These do not spread very much, so you can put them fairly close together.
8. Bake for about 8 minutes, or until they just start to brown.
9. Remove from oven; allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a minute before removing them to cook completely on wire racks.
