I found this recipe on the internet to make cookies with a bag of mini M&M's. I liked that it has oatmeal in it which make them a bit more chewy than your average cookie. You can also substitude chocolate chips if you don't have M&M's. Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) bag miniature m&m baking bits |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup margarine |
2 eggs |
2 cups flour |
2 cups oatmeal (either quick or long cook) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together sugars, shortening, margarine, vanilla and eggs with an electric mixer.
2. In a seperate bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and soda.
3. Add dry ingredients to mixing bowl a cup at a time until it is mixed together completely.
4. Open bag of M&M baking bits and pour out 1/3 cup to reserve for later. Add the rest of the chips and fold into batter.
5. Chill cookie dough for 1 hour.
6. Later, preheat oven to 350 degrees. On ungreased cookie sheets, or using parchment paper on cookie sheets, drop dough by spoonfuls with room for spreading.
7. Take 2 or 3 of the reserve M&M's and place on top of each cookie. This way, some clearly show after the cookie bakes.
8. Bake in 350 oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown.
9. Remove cookies from sheet and place on cooling rack.
